This may be a question for the XP board but I thought I'd throw it here in
case someone knows the answer...

My home network has 3 PC's, 1 running Win98 (yes, Win98), 1 machine running
WinXP Home and the third running Vista Home Premium. I want to be able to
share files from my XP machine to my Vista machine. When I browse to the
shared folders I can see them but when I attempt to open them, it says access
denied. I can see and access the files fine from my Win98 machine (and i;ve
tried a friend's XP laptop which works fine) but Vista won't open the shared
folders. I have had success, however, in opening files that are in XP's
"Shared Music" and "Shared Picures" folders that have the same file sharing
permissions... this isn't making sense to me.

Anyone else have this problem ?

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please
don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less*
help, not more. See this for why:
