Since the last post I renamed the only user on the laptop to match one of the users on the source computer from where I'm attempting to share. That did not help.

I did notice that after changing the user name the folder under Documents and Settings is named "Owner" -- so maybe that has no impact. Maybe I should change the name back and then create a new user to match. (I'd then delete the old user.)

You cannot simply rename a user account. As you have seen, doing this doesn't change any of the underlying folders. Name the account back to the way it was and create a new user account with the correct matching name.
