Vista - Sharing folders and files

Hi All -

On a home network I need to be able to "see" all folders and files from all
compters at all compters.

How do I make the entire drive "sharable" so I can access every folder and
files from any computer on the network, and not only the "public" folders.

Thx.

Mike..

Hello,

1) Tell each Windows Vista computer you want to be able to use your
admin power from other computers

- Click start
- Type: regedit
- Press enter
- In the left, browse to the following folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\

- Right-click a blank area in the right pane
- Click New
- Click DWORD Value
- Type: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
- Double-click the item you just created
- Type 1 into the box
- Click OK

2) You can now access the hidden administrative shares that already
exist on your computer(s). There is one share for each hard drive that
is on your computer called X$, where X the drive letter of the hard
drive. For example, the share for drive c is called c$. NOTE: You must
have password-protected sharing turned on for this to work.
