I'm running a workgroup network with XP Pro on one machine and XP Home on
another. The network seems to be behaving fine. I can share some folders on
the XP Pro machine but I'm not able to share the XP Pro Documents and
Setting folder. Is it possible to share the XP Pro Documents and Settings
folder on the XP computer so that it can be backed up onto the XP Home
computer?

Thanks, Bob

I believe that I somewhere read that you couldn't share the "Documents
and Settings", "Windows", and "Program Files" folders. You can go
inside the Documents & Settings folder and enable the folders inside
for sharing (you may have to be the owner, though).

HTH,
John
