XP Pro can't "give" files to XP Home
I have a Home LAN setup that has an XP Home Edition and an XP Pro Edition that are physically connected by a 4- port switch. My problem is that there are files that I have on the Pro Edition (PE) that I want to place on the Home Edition(HE). I'm not able to do it that way, but I can take them from the PE sitting at the HE. ???? Meaning If I am sitting at the PE and I drag a file to a shared folder on the HE, it won't let me do it and I get this error message entitled "error copying file or folder" Cannot copy my network places: Access is denied. Make sure the disk in not full or write- protected and that the file is not currently in use Now if I'm at the HE, I can navigate to the folder that resides on the PE and drag it to a local folder on the HE with no problem what so ever. I have made an account on the HE that gives me access on the PE, and I have activated the guest account on the home so that the PE can log into it. There's nothing else that I have noticed about the connection that raises any questions, just this one topic. Could someone tell me what it is that I am missing here?? THANX N ADVANCE. The Rookie/Wayne B. |

The Rookie/Wayne B. The problem is that the HE doesn't allow users on other computers to change its files. To grant that permission on the HE: 1. Right click the shared disk or folder. 2. Click Sharing and Security. 3. Put a check mark next to "Allow network users to change my files". If you do that, be careful. If you're sitting at the PE and you delete a file that's stored on the HE, the file doesn't go into the Recycle Bin on either computer. It's gone. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Thank you Steve, I most definitely appreciate it.
