This may be old to some, but I've tried everything I can think of.

I'm trying to share my D Drive (Root) under Vista with my other Vista
machines. I have enabled sharing and given the share name Full D. I have
given permission for everyone with full rights.

I try to access the share and I get "Full D is not accessible. blah blah.
Access is denied."

Any ideas?

Thanks

Fred

Just a follow-up on this. I can share and access subfolders without any
issue across the net. Unfortunately, I have a program that requires that the
data directory be the same on all machines. Basically d:\whatever. To do
this, I need to share the root directory.

Thanks

This has been disabled for security reasons. It can be enabled with a
registry edit.

I made the changes indicated on the webpage and rebooted.

I removed the share and reshared the drive.

I am still getting "Full D is not accessible. blah blah. Access is denied"

I even cut and pasted the entry to make sure I didn't mistype it.

Is there any other entry I need to make?

Thanks

Have you assigned a password to your user account? If not, you need to
do so. See this by Michael Bell, MS:

"When you share out the root of a drive in Vista, the UI only allows
this through the advanced sharing option. When the advanced sharing
option is used it only sets the share permissions. The actual
permissions on a file share are a combination of Folder and Share
permissions. In Vista the everyone group doesn not have permissions so
when you connect without a password the system you can see the folders
but not access them or possibly connect to the share but fail to open it.

1. Open Computer
2. Right click on the shared drive and select properties from the
context menu
3. Select the Security Tab in the displayed properties sheet.

"If you are connecting to the computer with no password then you are
connecting with the guest account. In order to access the files on the
drive, the everyone group needs to have access set here."

If you want to boot directly to your user account, you can always set
automatic logon. It is done the same way in Vista as described he

This was the ticket. I didn't realize about everyone not having access like
that.

Thanks Malke

Thanks
