Do you get an access denied error? If one of the computer is XP Pro or Media Center and the other one is XP Home, create identical user accounts/passwords on both machines.

Tanks for your help. there is no such an option on "view tab" about simple sharing on "my computer". I can't find this option on any of my computers. Both of computers using xp home. The laptap using wireles connection, and the desktop computer is using cable connection and they both using the same internet connection throu a router/gatway to a cable modem. from desktop computer i can see and also oppen resources on both computers , there is no problem . but from labtap computer there i can see the resourses on both computers but i got access denied messege when i try to access file on the desktop computer. but no problem accessing files on it's own files ( laptap). I have already been through the link you send but no success. Show quoteHide quote "Kalle" wrote: > 1. Click Start, and then click My Computer. > 2.

Sharing. You also didn't say *where* the files are that you want to share. Again: XP Home does not permit sharing of users' home directories (My Documents) or Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. Even though XP Home only authenticates as Guest, go ahead and make identical user accounts and passwords on both machines. If you are not currently using a password, set one anyway; you can always configure automatic logon for convenience: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm After you try the above, if you are still not able to share files and Mr. Michna's troubleshooter did not resolve your issues, have a local professional come on-site to set you up. Someone who knows what he is doing and can see the computers will be able to sort things out in very little time. Malke Malke:
Read most of most posts and learned a lot. You mentioned in many of your replies" "XP Home does not permit sharing of users' home directories (My Documents) or Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder." I have XP Home, and actually flagged "my documents" (home directory) sharable in my network at home and at the office. Just right click on "my documents", properties, and it it can be done. Didn't plan it this way, may not be the best practice, and had I planned ahead, would have used "sharable docs" instead. Unless I read you wrong, the home directory can definitely be flagged sharable, as that's the way I've set my system up. Thanks for all your helpful hints.
