Hi!

I cannot access a Vista machine drive by the default admin share c$, d$ from the Windows XP.
I can reach the pop-up screen for password, I entered the correct username and password ( a user member of the Administrators group ) but the logon keeps popping as if the authentication fails.

Is there an additional registry security setting required on the Vista Machine ? Or some Local Security policy ? It is a Windows Vista Ultimate.
