I'm Running Windows XP Professional. I've semi-successfully networked my desktop and laptop together. I can access all the shared folders under C:\ but for some reason I can't access one folder within the Documents and Settings sub-directory's. When I try to access these folders I get the following error "Z:\Documents and Settings\ebcdic is not accessible. Access is denied". The entire C:\drive is shared and I can access all folders except that one folder within Documents and Settings. Anyone know how I can access these sub-folders over the network?

Please note I'm using a workgroup network with simple file sharing enabled. I believe this has something to do with why I can't access these sub-folders.

Thanks

I don't know of any OS that you can access entirely the whole system of any computer. There is always something called security. If you want to access all , then copy them and put them all to your shared folders.
