For some reason, I can't do anything with anything in my Shared Documents
folder; I keep being told that access is denied...
 
Hi Amber,

Logon as administrator, then check the security settings. If you are using
WinXP Pro, you need to disable simple file sharing on the view tab of folder
options to see the security tab in the folder properties. If you are using
WinXP Home, you need to restart in Safe mode to access this setting.
