Install Vista?

You'll need to make sure Vista is already file sharing properly, but I
seem to have the usual set of administrative shares...

Well, they don't seem to work here. I found this page, but the reg tweak
had no effect.

What error are you getting?

When I try to connect to the administrative share, I get the logon box. But
when I put in my details I get this error:

"Logon unsuccessful: Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your
name and password are correct."

I am sure my details are correct and this does not happen after the drive is
shared manually.

Ok...

You applied the registry tweak to the Vista computer, and ensured everything
was spelling correctly/settings correctly?

Windows should have logged an event in the security event log recording your
attempted access and given more information as to why it wasn't allowed. Can
you find those events and post them?

That's very strange. When I tried it again I found that the administrative
shares now work. Thanks..

Cool .

Perhaps what was needed was for your non-vista computer to restart or have
its connection with your Vista computer timeout.
