Access denied for shared folder

L

Lorne

I have 5 folders on my XP desktop shared on a peer to peer network.

When I connect with my XP Laptop I can read 4 of the folders but get an
"Access denied" error message when connect to the other one. How is that
possible? and how do I solve it?

It used to work - just went wrong today.

What are the share permissions?
What are the file/folder permissions?

Do both on the affected folder match those on the unaffected folders?

(Yes - troubleshooting is a "which of these do not belong" type puzzle
sometimes. *grin*)

Quickest way - system restore to yesterday .
