Prob sharing files with a Vista laptop and an XP desktop, both wir
I have a Vista laptop and an XP desktop asn am having trouble sharing files.
I have followed the advice from previous threads with no luck. I have set up a new workgroup, turned off the firewalls, turned off the password protection, and can see the other folder, but I am still not allowed! Any idea?

Instead of turning off password protection, try creating identical user accounts and passwords on both machines. If you wish a machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular user's account) for convenience, you can do this.
