Hello Intruder :
The User Name and Pass words are different for both Computers as I use the
DELL and Wife Uses the HP.
So I have my own user name and password and she has her own user name and
pass word.

TheIntruder : Yes that Fixed it. Thanks Thanks !!!
I Right Clicked the Folder and clicked Share.
Then in the Box typed " Everyone and then add.
That did it. Thanks for your help.

Now I have 1 more Problem. In the HP Computer it is set up with my Wife's
Name and a Password. So after I sign in, etc. I click on the C Drive and open
it.
There is a Folder called Users. In that Folder I see only my name. NOT hers.
At 1 time I had changed the User Account from my name to hers. Is there a way
to change the Folders name in the Users Folder ??
Thanks in advance ! Regards !

Yes, create another account in the name required.
All you have done is change a label on your own account, the underlying
data which constitutes your account is still there.

Hi
Firewall Off does not mean that it is out of the system.
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

TheIntruder, Tom, Sanju121 :
Thanks for all you help. I am up and running.
What I had to do was Right Click each Folder I wanted share. And then in the
window enter Everyone and click add.
Once both computers botted up again. ll was well.
I appreciate the Time all you folks took to address this.
