We set up two separate admin accounts, one for my wife and one for myself. now we realize that it's not just settings that are separate, but you cannot see programs, pictures, desktop files etc etc on each others's accounts. is there a way to merge the admin accounts so we can see all the information, and if so, do we need to set up tweo separate user accounts to safely access this information?

I have 3 XP Home systems networked together. All can access the drive and directory shares of each other.I also have an XP Pro on the same network, and none of the XP Home systems can access the shares of the XP Pro system. Not even the Shared Documents folder.I've looked at the drive/directory Permissions and Security and can't find anything obviously wrong.So I tried enabling Simple File Sharing on the XP Pro system, and same thing. All of the XP Home systems are denied access to the XP Pro shares.What do I need to do to allow the XP Home systems to access the shares of the XP Pro system?

I used the network setup wizard to configure file sharing however neither computer can see the other's shared folders. The only firewall running is the default windows firewall. I suspect it has something to do with the different NIC cards and it is trying to find shared folders using the wireless as opposed to through the LAN.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine at work has problems sharing external usb hard drives connected to his laptop. He is running XP pro, and when he attempts to share a drive connected through usb, giving everyone full control it lets no one in. Not even he can, and he is the creator/owner of the share. I'm pretty sure its not a permissions issue, since it gives the same error when I try to browse it and I have domain admin rights.
This has happened with three separate drives, all of which can be shared when connected to any other pc than his. ( I have tried all three on four separate computers, making the share the exact same way with full access.The computer can see the share just fine, it just denies permission to access it either from the computer that created the share, or from any other computer on the network.
I had a bad HDD failure which corrupted part of my WinXP OS with the result that I am unable to boot into Windows. I have reloaded Windows on another HDD and I will be able to recover most of my data from backups. However, there is still some recent data on the bad disk which I am frantic to recover. I am able to find the "Documents and Settings" folder where I believe the "Outlook Express" data is held
I am unable to get into the folder as my username on the computer was passworded (the password is known). Neither am I allowed to copy the folder to my new drive. I cannot access the folder from my new OS even when I password myself with the same username / password. I have attempted to repair the bad drive's copy of Windows but that wasn't successful. I don't want to replace the bad copy with a fresh as this would reformat the drive taking with it the folder I want (and can't copy). Any work on the folder would need to be on the bad drive, it seems. I have run out of ideas.
Can I install XP on a hard drive which has only one partition with data without destroying the data?
