i wouldnt let those directories be shared across a network - because if you can view and edit the files, then so can someone else!!
and that could be very bad

Hi,

I agree with localhost8080, those directories should not be shared.

I take it you manually shared all of your directories right?

By default, your entire C: drive is shared, although this is a hidden share, it can be accessed.

Lets say I have a setup with PC_A and PC_B.
I'm working on PC_A and want to access files on PC_B.

I would simply Start->Run and type : \\PC_B\C$
(The $ sign denotes a hidden share.)

It will ask you for a Username and Password. Seeing that you have access to both machines, this should not be a problem. Alternatively, enable the Guest Account on PC_B and give it a Password.

Hope this helps!

Ciao
