Which version of Windows XP does the desktop have? XP Home Edition doesn't have administrative shares like C$. To enable administrative shares on XP Professional, disable simple file sharing. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

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 |

From the machine you are trying to connect from, bring up a command window (Start-Run-Cmd) and enter the command: net use * \\RAMEEZ\C$ /user:RAMEEZ\administrator When asked, provide the password for the administrator. If you have a different logon user that is in the "Administrators" group, use that name instead of "administrator" in the command line and provide the appropriate password. See what kind of error you get. HTH, John |
