[dba-Tech] Network Password

You have to have file sharing turned on on both sides. And the folder you
want shared shared with the user you want or with Public.

You would be loging on to the desktop from the laptop with the desktop's
user, not with the laptops user I think wouldn't you?

Did you try the windows help thing?   Don't let it do too much but it might
give you some clues without making the changes.  Being they are both the
same versions it SHOULD be easier.  I had trouble getting my XP system to
be able to see the Windows system drives but the Vista systems could see it
with no problems.
