Networking and Logon Password

by JSteinmetz Feb 8, 2004 6:58PM PST

I setup a home network between two computers running Win XP home and I can not share "My Documents" when I have a password to log into XP. Is there a way to get around this?

If you right click on My Documents, do you have a Sharing tab?

Yes I do. I figure what I will end up doing is put the original file in the shared folder and put a shortcut into My Documents that way the file will be the same no matter where I access it from. I've heard that that the password thing for certain folders is only in XP Professional.
