need help with filesharing issue

[Msfan]

I have filesharing enabled for my c and d drive. program files is access
denied on c drive. why? i do not have simple filesharing on or even
enabled/checked in the folder options etc. i enable filesharing so the
entire 100% of the drive is accessible to anyone on my lan without the
need for a password, but can't access the programs folder and a couple
others. how do i fix this?

If you set up a password on the account you are using for access across the
network, does this fix the issue?

You can change this restriction, following the procedure posted here:

There ARE VERY GOOD REASONS, however, for the initial restriction. There
are a number of viruses which spread via network shares and you may be
making this much easier.

I'm not worried about viruses since i am not infected nor have i ever
been. and i run firewall and NAV. meaning i have router etc.

all i have is the user of the pc. set to fileshar the c and d drive. the
user is ask for password so remote desktop can be used, but on the lan,
there's no question asking you to log in.

Try it out--let's see if it fixes your issue?

Bill, try what?
The host has the 1 user who is admin. dan/dan. when i set up filesharing
i think the first time i tried to connect from my own pc, client, i
typed in the user info, saved it check box. since then i have disabled
simple filesharing and re fileshared. when i log in i am not asked for a
password. i can not access the program files folder still.

Hmm - let's see if I have this right.

Host has simple file sharing disabled. Host has a single user, admin
dan/dan.

You connect across a network from another machine, logged in as dan/dan and
you cannot access the program files folder?
