You can use Remote desktop with sharing so that you can map your laptop drive on the remote computer.

I do have a wifi network at home that consist of a wired desktop, laptop and
a printer. In addition I have another laptop where I connect through wifi.
When I am away I access my desktop remotely via my static IP from my ISP
through port forwarding. I am running Windows XP-Pro on all my workstations.
I have hard drives that are shared within my network including file and
printer sharing.

My question is - is there a way to be able to drag and drop files within the
shared drives while connected via remote access. Example is if I am in Los
Angeles and connected to my desktop in Las Vegas via remote access, can I
open the My Documents directories on my laptop and desktop and drag and drop
files between the two workstations. Aside from drag and drop is there such a
configuration scheme to possibly do such task.

You have been great in helping me and I hope you can help me on this one
too. I thank you in advance.

Mike
