sharing problem

[JackieD]

I have recently networked two computers in my house. One
is connected to the internet via a router and the second
has a wireless connection. Internet and e-mail is working
like a dream.

However, a friend set up a shared folder for both
computers but when we try to access files placed in the
folder, the window crashes and all open windows are closed
as soon as we double click. Could this be an access
problem? Can anybody help?

The other thing I noticed is that in My Computer under
folder options, I cannot see an option for Use Simple File
sharing

Does this happen on both PC's or just the one?

If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he
still wrong?

Hi Mike

this happens on both pcs. Basically, we can put a shared
file in the shared folder belonging to the other person on
the other pc, no problem. But when we each try to retrieve
the file from that folder (ie from our own shared drive on
our own pc) double clicking causes the illegal error.
