File Sharing enabled on both computers. File sharing enabled on all drives. Drives D, E, F & Shared folders on Desktop computer when viewed on laptop computer network placess. . Cannot see the C Drive. However, when I view the workgroup computers I can see the C drive. C drive mapped to Z in error. Think I have the mapping removed but still can't see the C drive on my laptop. Thanks in advance

Are you saying that you can't 'SEE' the desktop C: drive when viewed from the laptop ?

OR

Are you saying you are denied access to the desktop C: drive from the laptop ?

Either way, since you re-mapped the drive, I'm assuming you have re-booted both machines, yes ?

I can access the C drive on the desktop by using the "view workgroup" but can't see it when using "My Network Places".

Yes, I have rebooted both computers. Never did see the Z drive when it was mapped.

Thanks for your interest.

Then when you open it through view workgroup computers it should then appear in the my network places folder.
If not you can add it as a network place manually, but as always with workgroups on home edition software you must have a user account on each machine in the workgroup.

Thanks tintoman. That did it for me. Silly me, didn't even think to try to add it individually.
