Hi Everyone,

I have set up my home network between a Vista Ultimate and Home Premium
machine and i can "see" all the folders that i shared and have verified
that i can print from the laptop (Home Premium) across the network. But
what i can't do is actually open a folder. I get the message that i
don't have permission, yet everything i can see is set to "full
control". i'm sure there is some setting i may not be thinking of
here....

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Murphy,

Double check the steps in this tutorial to see if there may have been
something that you overlooked. In particular Step Three.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/12...ng-enable.html

If it is a user account's personal folder, you may need to grant
permission for the main username folder to be able to access the other
folders first.

Thanks Shawn, i saw that tutorial last night but didn't go through it in
detail...i'll double check it when i get home tonight. I do have a
question though: when i get to #s 9 and 10 under step 3, am i only
entering users for the machine the shared folders reside or is their a
way that i have to enter the user/network path of the other machine
here?
