I don't have a solution for you, sorry, but I have a similar problem: can't
share/access Vista files/folders across my XP/Vista network except for
Vista's Public Folder. That works fine, and whenever I need to access
anything to or from Vista across the network, I copy it all to the Public
Folder and go. A helluva workaround. And yes, I show my entire Vista C:
drive as "shared" without permissions. Grrrrrrrr.......
