removing shares, access denied?

Nico,

Would this explain why all I can get is something like "access denied" from
my WinXP PC#1 when I look at another WinXP PC#2 across the room

I simply shared the entire c-drive on PC#2, but PC#1 gets some type of
denied message. It's certainly possible that I had just "deleted" it from
My Network Places on PC#1 at some point, in the early WinXP "learning
months" and then re-shared it again on PC#2. (I can share certan
sub-folders like PC#2's "documents" but not all of PC#2's c-drive).

1) Is this the reason for why PC#1 can't access c-drive on PC#2, or 2) can I
restore it somewho so I can get to the whole c-drive on PC#2?

Thanks
George

Hi George,

The root of a drive, like C, is shared out by default but only a computer
administrator or a member of the Administrators group can access this. By
default, the PC2 will try and connect to PC1 as a Guest. You can try
connecting to the C$ drive on PC1 by doing the following:

Start - Right Click My Computer - Map Network Drive.
Pick any drive letter.
Enter the path \\machinename\c$
Click on Connect using different name.
Enter the user name and password of an administrator on PC1.
Click Finish.

This should open up a window to the share on the computer. If you want this
to persist across logins, then you will have to check the box for "Reconnect
at logon".

Thanks,
