I have a home network using a router that is both a switch and wireless. I
want to be able to access any folder or file from any computer on the network
without having to go through all of the hassle of the the new security puts
me through. I don't have a need for the complicated security a large
installation with many users needs. I own everything and want access to
everything from any computer at any time.

How do I get this kind of access in a simple way. In order to get access to
an external drive on one of my computers I had to spend about an hour and a
half trying to figure out what else I needed to do. I'm getting really tired
of getting messages that I don't have permission for that, all of the time.

Every new operating system Microsoft has come out with has made computers
harder to use. What happened to "User Friendly?"

Sincerely,

Try Network Magic. However, I think you'll have to specify each
folder you want to share.
 
I have tried that and it doesn't work, so what else should I try? I can't
get access on other computers to C or Program Files or Main User. The only
thing I can get access to is a folder called "Public" that is not one that I
use or even know where it is. I do have visibility between the computers
and have turned on sharing and granted full permissions to Everyone. Thank
you.
 
When you assigned permission to everyone, have you also did on the Security
tab? Or this search result may help.

Vista Permission IssuesCan I assume the external drive used to be connecting
to other computer and you just re-connect it the the Vista? Check the
permission using this command: . ...
