No access to remote Docs or Program folders

[Rick Altman]

I am at my wit's end with one aspect of Windows XP sharing. I really
hate being locked out of the Docuements and Settings and Program Files
folders. There are dozens of times weekly when I, as the network
administrator, need to check an .ini file, copy a .dll, get a template
file, or locate a document.

These are completely normal and expected activities...but I can
perform none of them, because XP refuses access to these folders on
other systems on a network.

How do I overcome this??

Turn off the "Simple File Sharing" in the Windows Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options > View.
