Mo,
That refers to XP only and I've done it many times.
Sadly, not so simple in Windows 7.
Surely someone out there has done it! <Smiles>

Mo,
I have always had complete control of my computers and been able to
swap between them regardless of which computer I was using. That's why
I like it and that's what I wanted! I haven't achieved it yet,but I'm
sure it is possible!
I am thinking that I would want to enter by password and also to know
what you mean about safety issues, but I think it's worth it from my
point of view, so long as I am very careful!
Anyway, I shall look around someone who can help you further on this
since I'm not really having any joy, and in the meantime I won't let
it bother me too much.
Thanks for your concern. No need to ring but thanks for the offer. Regards
Carol P

Hi Carol.
I recall doing this years ago for my external drive, but i think
that as a security feature you cannot share your c: drive with
people on your network. Forgive me for asking, but why would you
want to share the hole of your drive anyway? If viruses are spread
across your network, that's a huge security flaw! Could you not
just share certain folders that aren't related to the well being
of your system? Or you may wish to consider pourchasing a network
storage device, they don't cost much at all. feel free to get in
touch off list to continue this discussion, or i can call you at
your convenience.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi all,
IâEUR^(TM)m stuck in networking this combination. I think my
problem is in the permissions granted to use the whole of the
âEURoeCâEUR? drive on the Windows 7 machine. Everything else
appears OK. Accessing XP machine working fine; some folders on
Windows 7 computer are also accessible and, although I have ticked
the box to access the whole drive, I just am not getting there.
If anyone feels they can help me with this, probably over the
phone, could you let me know via email of a suitable time/day, please.
Thanks.
