Thank you for you taking the time to respond.
The users files on the xp pro peer to peer are stored in
....\user\username\... not username\My Documents\...
The ...user\username\... created and shared with "use simple file sharing"
and works fine for the XP clients. The actual "Network Sharing and Security"
settings are "share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to
change my files"
There should be no need for user names or profiles to be created on the xp
peer to peer with "simple file sharing".
Thanky Don
