On computer 2 I want to see computer 1's drive C and all its subdirectories,

shared folder.
I set the C drive to sharing. On cpomputer 2 I see computer 1's C drive, can
get into Documents and Settings and can get into All Users directory, but not
into the other directories under Documents and Settings. I set the sharing to
allow changes from anyone on the network. Why can't I see all directories and
subdirectories. I followed all instructions people gave to create a shared
device. I know I can stuff my documents and settings into the shared drive
but I'd rather not.
Another reason for needing this is I'm putting a local external drive on
computer 2 and want to back up all of computer 2 and all documents I have on
computer 1 - almost all in computer 1's documents and settings.
Hope I'm making some sense
Thanks,
Mike
Mike,
You are making sense, but you are still _very_ light on details. I presume that
we are talking about Windows XP, but which XP on each computer?
1) XP Home?
2) XP Pro with Simple File Sharing?
3) XP Pro with Advanced File Sharing?

Do you only have 2 computers? Did you just recently add one computer? Do you
only have 2 computers total?

Computer 1 is a laptop connected wirelessly to my home network. Computer one
has the external drive and is connected to the wireless router. When my son
is home from college his laptop also connects wirelessly.
We all run XP Professional and simple file sharing is set.
OK, Simple File Sharing, and Guest only access, is the first issue here.
Guest won't give access to "C:\Documents and Settings" as a whole, because most
of that is personal. Only the owner, and the administrator, have access to
those, and only Guest is used for network access.
