Both are Windows XP SP 3
When I open MY NETWORK PLACES on computer "B" , I see
Local Network:
My Documents on Lynn (computer B)
SharedDocs on Laptop (Lynn) (computer B)
The Internet:
c on Notebook (Home) (computer A)
My Documents on Notebook (Home) (computer A
SharedDocs on Notebook (Home) (computer A)
It's the reverse when you look at My Network Places on the Home computer. So
that is all correct.
The problem is that when I open up the My Documents on Computer "A" from the
Computer "B", the files titled My Music, My Pictures, My Received Files and
My Videos are renamed to show -- Lynn's Music, Lynn's Pictures, Lynn's
Recieved Files and Lynn's Video which is the computer user name for computer
"B".
Then, when I open My Documents Computer "B" from Computer "A", those same
files are called Eberle''s Music, Eberle's Pictures, Eberle's Recieved Files
and Eberle's Video which is the user name for computer "A".
What is happening is that when viewing the other computers files thru the
network, those files are being renamed to the user account name of the
computer that is viewing it. I'm not sure how to make that clear.
When I view the documents of Computer "A" on Computer "B" shouldn't those
file names stay as My Pictures, My Music etc and not be renamed to the
viewing computers user account name or show the user account name of the
other computer?
The content in the folders does belong to the other computer, it's just the
name of the files that is the issue. I would think if I am viewing the files
OF computer A, then those files should be name for Computer A and not
Computer B.
This is really hard to explain without showing someone. Hope someone
understands what I'm saying.
