I actually just had to hack my way through this problem on Saturday.. let me guess, this is a Windows XP box that's part of a workgroup, not a domain? If so, you'll need to disable 'Simple Sharing' to allow an administrative user to connect to the C$ share. This is done by loading an Explorer window, and go to Tools->Folder Options. Go to the 'View' tab, and scroll all the way down. Uncheck the ‘Use Simple Sharing (Recommended)’ option. I actually had problems finding this, so I ended up posting it to my blog - post is at: http://www.natecarlson.com/blog/2005/09/24/annoying-file-sharing-stuff-with-windows-xp-professional/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
