On a Windows XP Home system I need to share the C drive, them map it as a
network drive and then share a folder that's in the Program Files folder.
I've done all of this and even though I've shared the sub-folder I can't
browse past the Program Files folder and XP says that this can't be shared.
The folder must stay in the Program Files folder so how do I get past this
little security feature in XP?
