Network folder cannot be accessed

[Guest]

Hello,

I am runnning two XP computers through a Belkin router. I have run the
Network Wizard and everything works fine except for one pesky folder that I
cannot access between computers. Al the other shared folders work fine
except this one. I have tried adding a network place but the folder is still
not accessible. I get a "permission denied" warning whenever I try to access
it. It looks different than the other created shared folders. It does not
have that funky pipeline thing as part of the icon. Any suggestions as to
how I can create a shared folder that is accessible? Thanks! Richard

You haven't told us what version of XP is on both computers (Home or Pro)
and the location of the "pesky folder". Is there something special about
this folder? Right-click it and see what the permissions are and who the
owner is. If you have XP Home, you'll need to go into Safe Mode to see the
security tab.
