Now no access to two foldersAs soon as I fix one thing, something else breaks. I continue to be denied
access to two of the user accounts on the laptop. My (admin) My Documents folder is accessible from the two desktops, but the other two accounts (also admins) are not accessible: \\Laptop\My Documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissioons. Access is denied. This is the initial problem I was trying to solve in the first place. I've been at this for 3 days. I've shared the My Documents folder in these two accounts. I've looked at permisions and passwords and such, but I'm terrified to change anything and I don't know what to do. Help! Rip Apologies to all; this was meant to be a response to my own thread begun on
10-8. Thanx to any who can help.

sharing their folders, even with the laptop. This is what is so frustrating. I cannot find what those two have in common between them that is missing on the laptop.

Can you access any folders in the same path on each computer, from each other computer? Can you access any folders in any path on each computer, from each other computer? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. Each of the three computers (2 desktops, 1 laptop, all xp pro) have the same
three accounts set up on them, User1, User2 and User3. None have passwords and I don't want them to if possible. All three machines can access anything I set up as shared (to the very bottom of its tree) on any of the other machines no matter who is logged on with one exception: the laptop won't allow access to User2 and User3's My Documents folder from any other machine, any other account, whether I share them or not. The laptop will, however, allow access to User1's My Doc's folder from any other machine, any account. As a test, I shared C:\Temp on one of the desktops and all machines can access everything in it down to the last file. As another test, I shared a folder 2 levels deep on the laptop and it is accessible to the other two machines, but it's parent folder is not. I assume that's how it's supposed to work. I hope this helps you help me. Thanx for taking the time.

Problem solved. Here's what I did; not sure which of these, or combination
thereof, fixed the problem: On the laptop, I logged onto each of the culprit accounts, unshared their My Docs folder, reshared using a different share name, rebooted. Then they other machines were able to access those folders. Thanks for the help, Chuck and Steve.
