[Brian]

Hi,
i have a home newtork... two pc's and a laptop, behind a router. I've
always just used the administravtive share with xp, how do i get that
administrative share on vista ... or get to the files on the vista box from
my xp machines.
All machines are in a workgroup with the same username and password for a
certain account.

You need to enable access to the administrative shares.

I recommend you don't do this. Instead you should share folders rather than
the whole drive.
