Can't access (even shared folder on) another home PC
I am trying to access my old computer from my new one. Old is XP HE new is
Vista HP. I would like to ideally access everything on the PC. At the moment I can't even access the shared folder. I get a message SharedDocs is available but the user account that you are logged on with was denied access. I am using the same username and password on both computers. How can I set them up so I can access everything on the old fromk the new PC?

Is the SharedDocs in an external hard drive? Also check the permission in

Under properties sharing I have it set for allowing all users on the network to access and write. Ther is the blue hand showing under the folder. How can I make this and all the PC accessible?
