Hello,

suppose I have a Master and a Slave PC, both with XP prof. -
I'm accessing the Slave via Remote Dektop from the Master.
Now I want to copy files from the Master to the Slave, controlled
from the Slave via the mentioned Remote Desktop.
Unfortunately I can't access all folders of Master's drive C:\ - not
only system folders are blocked. Some folders are accessible.

Additional question: What does '$' denote - e. g. I want assign a
drive letter \\MASTER\C$ - then a password is requested for
accessing the Master - but I haven't never defined one?
\\MASTER\C works (but with the mentioned folder problems).


Thanks for any hints.
Udo
