    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
