Hello,

I have 2 desktops & a laptop all running xp pro sp2. All can see each other
on the network, but one desktop cannot be accessed beyond the docs &
settings folder except for all users and default user. Each of the other
folders in docs & settings ( Local service, Network service, My name, My
daughters name, admininstrator) have sharing turned on. In folder
options/view, the following are checked:

Display the contents of system folders
Show hidden files and folders
Use simple file sharing

The following are UNchecked

Hide protected operating system files

Windows firewall and Zone alarm are disabled.

What should I check next?

Many thanx,

--
