working. please help

My desktop is running on Windows Xp
My Laptop is running on Windows Vista

I can access my shared files/folders using \\computername but i
cant access my hard disk using \\computername\c$ command.


Is your desktop C$ drive shared?

Right-click "My Computer" - Manage - System Tools - Shared Folders
- Shares
Verify that "C$" is in the "Shared Folder" column.
Verify that you are trying to connect with an account with
Administrator privilege.
Right-click the "C" drive - Properties - Security
and make sure the settings allow access.

HTH,
John
