Is this just a rights issue, &nbsp;Do you log onto the machines using different user names and If so have you given permission for the second user name to access the folder on the first PC?<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />

I have two PC's running Windows XP home connecting to a router. On one of the PC's I have created a mapping to the other one to share an application. The trouble is I can't access the &quot;Program Files&quot; folder, I get the Access denied message. One PC is running SP1 &amp;&nbsp;the other SP2. From the PC running SP2 I can access anything on the other PC but can't seem to access anything the other way round, any ideas?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
