Re: Now no access to two folders

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The two desktops are set the same way (SFS enabled) and they have no trouble
sharing their folders, even with the laptop. This is what is so frustrating.
I cannot find what those two have in common between them that is missing on
the laptop. This seems like it should be so easy...

This is the initial problem I was trying to solve in the first place.
I've
been at this for 3 days. I've shared the My Documents folder in these
two
accounts. I've looked at permisions and passwords and such, but I'm
terrified to change anything and I don't know what to do.

Help!

Rip,

Is the server (the computer with My Documents shared) using Guest
authentication
(Advanced or Simple File Sharing), or non-Guest (Advanced File Sharing
only)?

If you're absolutely certain that non-Guest authentication is used, look
at
individual permissions problems.

I'd have to say I'm using Guest authentication, since I have SFS enabled.
How do I know if I'm using 'SFS or Advanced FS'?

Many thanx for your response.

Rip,

If you have "Use simple file sharing" selected, you are running SFS.

If SFS is running, then Guest authentication is in force, and you simply
won't
be able to share My Documents or any other personal folders, for network
access.

You can try playing with permissions, if you wish.
