Using WinXP, simply want to allow C-drive on "PC#2" to be readable by PC#1.
But it "access denies" key user folders...where the real data is. Would
greatly appreciate suggestions. Is full access to a c-drive just not doable
at all in WinXP...it was very doable in Win98. Thanks.
WHAT DID SO FAR
-Simple file sharing didn't work, so unchecked it in My Computer > Tools >
Folder Options > View.
-Then right clicked c-drive on PC#2, selected "share this folder" and named
it "c-drive" but it keeps falling back to "C$" in there
WHAT HAPPENS
-PC#1 can read most things but not user folders like ...documents and
settings \ John Doe. Those are "access denied"...don't have permissions
