Had to install a new drive on Mom's computer. Use to have it sharing it's
files and printer with Dad, both using WinXP-Pro. Was able to setup the
shared printer but can't get Mom's C-drive to share. Went in folder options
and set Everyone to have full access. Still not working. So went into Folder
Options and removed Simple File Sharing, restarted and set c drive to share
with full permissions to Everyone. Still not working. What did I miss?
 
Workgroup name is "office" for all computers in this family. Isn't it since
I share and use her computer?

It is a network for the family so I guess it called local.

Noticed on my other computers that share in this family that I have no
IRPStacksize parameter is any of the registries so I doubt if adding this
would fix problem.
 
Don't understand your answer or direction. As indicated in my story I tried
Simple File Sharing and when that did not work, I unchecked it and put in
Everyone to share computer. Neither worked. What is different in what you
recommended to read?
