Network help
AFAIK Vista does not let you share Drives.
Have a read below. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. Permissions/Share info is there as well. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Aspire 5610z" wrote: I have a network with my desktop and laptop, all is good from the desktop to the laptop all shared files and folders are accessable but from the laptop to the desktop all the shared folders are visible but only lets me open the public folders.

It is not recommended that the system drive (usually C) is shared but if you
have, say, a D partition with music, videos, etc. that you want to share, simply right-click Computer Manage Storage Disk Management then right-click the drive graphic Properties Security Tab Edit Add then type ‘Everyone’ (not the quotes) OK and below it select your preferences, e.g. Read or Full Control. Now Apply, OK, etc. to finish. "Mick Murphy" wrote: AFAIK Vista does not let you share Drives.
