Unable to access Shared Documents folder in Win XP

[Philippe Conway]

My wife and I each have unique logins under our Win XP
Home Edition system, and we both add pics to our Shared
Documents folder so we can both see them.

Today, we were attempting to copy files into the Shared
Documents folder, but it is giving us a message
saying "Access Denied", Disk is full or in use. We both
belong in the Administrator group, so I am not sure
what's going ok. And I know we are not out of space on
the hard drive, because we have over 100 GB left. Before
today, it worked fine. Nothing has been changed, no
software added.

Could anyone shed some light on this??? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi Phillippe,

Try taking ownership of the folder, then recheck the share settings
(properties).
