Shared Folder On XP Home Wont Share
May 20, 2006
I have xp home and my computer and laptop are connected wireless.Had it set up to share the printer and an extra hard drive that I have (but not C Drive).This all works fine However I have looked at my Shared Documents on each computer and even though I can open them and no error message comes up, I cannot see files I put in them from either computer.I have Zone Alarm on one and Norton on the other Disabled them but no change
What am I missing here?

In previously highlighted issues regarding backing-up shared documents to my Seagate Freeagent hard drive, I simply decided to move the My Music Folder from the shared documents folder, but Windows is disallowing me from doing this stating that My Music is a Windows system folder & cannot be renamed or removed? Any help please on getting around this to move My Music from the shared documents? I'm running XP with servce pack 3.

I have a shared folder which contains many folders for many users on my network and to make users folders recognisable we chose to fix a folder picture of every folder with the picture of the folder owner. The problem is that those folders never have a constant folder picture on all of my network computers as the picture always changes for some reason, I've tried to set permissions on thumb.db file

When I downloaded the updated drivers for my hp scanner software, an icon appeared on my desktop and if I right click it to delete it my computer freezes. If I drag it to the recycle bin or any other folder it just duplicates it and it is still on the desktop. I can't find anywhere else where I could delete it from the registry for example or add/delete programs list. I can't rename it , to try to delete it, because of the freezing issue. I will never use it so It bothers me that its there.

I have a home network with 3 PC's running XP Home SP2 and a Linksys Router. I had to replace the mother board in one of the computers and since then some ... not all ... shared directories are not accessible from the other 2 computers. If I attempt to open some of the folders I get an error message that says "You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

From my XP SP2 (Media Center Edition) computer, I can access shared folders on my other computers (a Vista, a W7, and another XP computer). However, those computers cannot access shared folders on this computer (the XP SP2 machine).The shared folders are visible from the other computers, but when they attempt to access them, they get a dialog box to log in with userid and password. I have tried various combinations of userid and password, including "thiscomputernameprimaryaccountname" with the associated password. Authentication fails.I am using simple file sharing.

I Setup a user on Server A {Names for Examples} and setup user shares on Server A with no problems.
I login to Server B and go to setup a share, Server B shows the user as Disabled in the permissions.
But Server A where the active directory is shows it as enabled and the network allows the user to login.
It seems to be just a display bug. Or is it something more?

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 have a laptop running Windows XP with Wi-Fi access. I have a desktop running Windows XP with a cable modem. There is no router in. I would like to share my printer that I have connected to my desktop over the Internet so that I can print from my laptop anywhere.Does anyone here have any concrete, non-RDP idea, that will enable me to do this in a secure way such that no unauthorized person will be able to print junk, porn and the like on my desktop printer?
