Hi,

I have a winxp pro pc which I use as server. I have four shares on that pc.
When I browse my server some folders are empty while there are certainly
files in it. If I type the correct name in the adressbar then I can acces the
file. The files and folders are not hidden, I simply can't see the folders or
files. Not all the folders have this problem :s

Hope u understand the problem, I disabled "easy sharing" btw

Tia!
 
Look at the "Security tab" for the folders in question and see what the
settings are. If "list folder contents" is unchecked, the folder will
appear empty.
 
Unfortunately that option is checked, strange..

Is it checked so as to apply to the account in question? Or conversely
is "Deny" checked anywhere? Deny overrides "Allow"
 
"Deny" isn't checked anywhere, all the options are checked as "Allow". I
think the problem is since I upgraded winxp home to winxp pro.
 
Replaced operating system, try re-sharing the locations in question.
