From: 99XJ on
I figured out what it was... (tail between legs) I went to her "My Computer"
and noticed the Shared folder didn't have the share "hand" I right clicked
folder>properties>share... it says "By default windows has protected you
from Network sharing, if you would like to share, click here"...(Network
Wizard setup)
Thanks for your help anyway!!
