OK, here's "A" solution I found in this community, although imho not a very
decent one.
I just added the "guest" account to the list of people who are allowed to
share the folder and files and gave this account all necessary permissions
and now I can access the shared folders.
So much for Vista increased security, or am I wrong? For now, it's the only
solution that works.
Anyway; Thanks for your help, Robert.
