Hi,

I have a friends machine that needs cleaning up and I have networked it (XP
SP2) with my (XP PRO SP2) desktop. Both machines see each other and file and
print sharing is enabled on both, but if I try to create a folder or move
shortcuts to the sharing enabled directories on her machine from my machine,
I get an 'access denied' message. Why? How do I fix it?

TIA,

Ripper

That did it. It was the permissions.
Thanx,
