Default Can't share the (My Documents) file to my local Network!


Hallo guys, I have read many things 10 days now but I can' solve my
problem.

I have 2 PCs, one with XP Professional and 1 with the Vista Home
Premium! From the Vista I can go anywhere (that I share) to the XP. From
the XP I can't go inside the file (My Documents) of the Vista. It tells
me that I don't have permission. But I can go to the public of the
Vista. I have shared the (My Documents) file I have done them all but
still nothing! I don't have firewalls and they are both updated. I beg
you please help me!!

That's because what you see on the Vista machine as "My Documents"
isn't. It's just a junction point. What you need to share is
C:/Users/{your account name here}/Documents

Thx Friend! Yes I have already done this.

I went ot the users and I have 2:

Public
Takis

I shared the Takis but still when I go to Takis through the XP machine
it tells me that I don't have permission. I will smash my laptop!!!!!!!!


I can't share all the account? I mean you are telling me C:/Users/{your
account name here}/Documents and I tried the C:/Users/{your account name
here}, isn't this doable?

1. Review Vista file sharing once more he
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx

2. On XP Pro, disable Simple File Sharing from Folder OptionsView tab.

3. On both computers create matching user accounts and passwords on all
machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all
machines and the passwords assigned to each user account can be different;
the accounts/passwords just need to exist and match on all machines. DO NOT
NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY SIMPLE ONES. If you wish a
machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular user's
account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions at this link
work for both XP and Vista:

Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) -
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

4. Now you should be able to share out c:\users\[youruseracct]\Documents as
desired and you will not get "access denied".
