I thought I made this clear in the original post. The XP and Win2K
machines can access individual folders I share on the Vista machine, but
I can't find a way to give them access to entire drives, nor can I find
a way to give them other than read-only access. If I share the Vista D
drive, the other machines can read the files and folders in that
directory only, but they can't write them, and they can't read
subdirectories.

I don't understand what you are asking for here. Is "h:" a drive
letter? And on which machine(s) should I do this? Is the command "net
use"?
Thanks,
