it, it wants a password and user name, which I have never put in , but will not let me have access to it from any laptops or pc |

Vista requires a username and password unless you use "simple file sharing"
(similar to file sharing in XP). This article explains: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx Thanks for posting. -- Gloria Boyer Windows User Assistance team Microsoft Corporation |

If you want to share the whole drive, you have to make ‘Everyone’ appear in
