Thank you for the response, but this does not jibe with the fact that the
other two machines on this network have "Use simple file sharing" checked,
and they don't have any trouble accessing each others folders. In fact, the
machine that cannot be accessed by the other two can access the folders of
the other two, it's just not making itself available to the other two.
What is the significance of creating matching accounts? I've never had to do
this on any of the several 3 machine setups I've had.
Thanks again,
Rip

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,
By default, Windows XP blocks networked access to the Program Files
and Windows folders and to individual users' folders within Documents
and Settings.
Un-checking "Use simple file sharing" will remove those restrictions.
Then, create matching user accounts (same user name and password) on
each computer.
You might have to un-share and then re-share disks and folders to make
the new settings take effect.
