Chuck,
Thanks for the info and the blog link. I've switched my notebook so that it
is not using simple file sharing. I then enabled only the accounts on my
notebook that I want to have access to my All Users shared documents. Nice.
However, I have a desktop computer that I would like to have permission to
write to the shared documents on the notebook. I read the blog below a
number of time and did the following without any luck:
1) The notebook computer was set to NOT simple file sharing.
2) I created an account on my notebook with the same login and password.
3) Added share permissions for that account to the shared documents.
4) When I try to write to the shared folder from my desktop, I can't.
When I select users or groups for an account, there is a location option.
When I click on the locations button only my notebook computer shows up. I
don't see my desktop computer and they are on the same workgroup. Could that
have anything to do with it?
Also, my desktop is still set to simple file sharing.
Thanks,
Mike
