    Default shared folder not accessable over lan

    I have two XP home machines sharing a cable connection on
    a hub-router. I have one profile folder in the documents
    and settings folder that I cant access from the other
    machine. All other folders, for a profile or otherwise,
    can be shared without a problem. Any ideas?

    Default shared folder not accessable over lan

    Figured it out...
    The sharing permissions have to be set while logged into
    each respective profile. Even though the checkbox for
    sharing can be checked for another profile, it isn't
    actually set unless you are logged in as that profile.
