my networking problem is i have shared folders on pc A. set it so the folders can be viewed and edited fully....

i have got the folders in my network places on computer b but i get 'access is denied' messages when i try to goto the specific folder....

its only the my documents folder for 2 of the users... i can access the main one (first account, before i made user accounts a few years ago)

Thanks

Do you use XP Home or XP Professional?  If XP Professional, are you using "simple file sharing"?

pro on 1 and home on the other.... all my other folders work fine though so i didnt think different versions would be a problem

You can't access those files because you are trying to access a administrator account that only the owner can access.

When you are on the PC you want to access, go in to "My Computer", right click on "Your Documents", Properties, Sharing, and untick "make this folder private".

all of the accounts have admin rules... and the only one that works is admin ill try setting it from the actual account, instead of one account though...
