You said you "would like to access the C:\ I declared as 'shared' on my desktop." By "desktop", do you mean your workstation computer, or do you mean your Windows Desktop (shell program)? If the latter, you can't mean "C:\", yet the error message that you mention indicates the latter. So, what directory have you shared, "C:\" or "C:\WINNT\PROFILES\YOURUSERNAME\DESKTOP", and with what permissions? -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED]
