I checked out all the similar posts, but my problem is just a little different. I have a peer-to-peer LAN with four computers, all running WXP Pro SP2, and all four have their entire C drives shared. I can see all four computers from EACH OF THEM, and can access any of them from any other, UP TO A POINT. I can access pretty much everything on each computers drive EXCEPT folders under "Documents and Settings". e.g. One computer is named "Upstairs" on the LAN, and has only one user named "Family". From ANY of the other three computers, if, in Windows Explorer, for example, I browse to Upstairs in My Network Places, click on "Documents and Settings" (in the left pane), then click on "Family", I immediately get the error message:
"\\Upstairs\Upstairs_Master\Documents and Settings\Family is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Access is denied."
This happens on each computer accessing the equivalent folder tree branch on any of the others. It happens with ZoneAlarm ON OR OFF. I've tried all the suggestions in the other, similar, posts, but still have the problem. I need to be able to access this folder branch in order to set up synchronization among the Outlook personal file folders (.pst) with each other.
1. On all machines - Folder Options>View tab - disable Simple File Sharing.
2. Create matching user accounts and passwords on all 4 machines. If you haven't assigned passwords, do so. If you wish a machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular user's account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions at this link work for both XP and Vista:
Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm
3. Create the shares and on the Security tab, set permissions to Everyone.
