Open a Command Prompt on one of your problem workstations
(Start / Run / cmd {OK}), then type this command:

net share test="%UserProfile%"

Does the command work? Can you reach this share from
the other machines?

 

[NETADMIN]

Did you applied any type of Group Policy to deny Filder sharing over
network users?

Is File and Printer sharing is enable on LAN Properties ?

 

[Harold]

sir, no group policy has been applied, only default settings of Win2k3, not
familiar with group policy setup.

sir, sorry but i can't make the command work.. but anyway sir i tried to
login using the domain administrator account in one of the win2k workstation
and Wow! sharing tab appears i can now share any folder in workstation, but
still the problem is if i login using any user account the file and folder
sharing tab again is unavailbale.. is there in windows 2K3 that by default
roll -out a security group policy that disable the folder sharing in all
common user account?

I am unable to suggest a cure unless I have an idea what
the problem is. The command I gave you would have shed
some light on the issue. Why can't you get it to work? How
far do you get? What happens when you type it?
