I did not have time ( at the time ) to go too deeply into things other than the basics.

But I did notice somehere in the jungle of settings, ( on XP Pro ) various choices such as Full. Read Only and some others I believe.

But as of right now I have no reason to share anything. Although I do set up a share when I want to copy something from this machine to another. But when done I stop the Share.

I do have some backups from the other machine on here and the other way around. But any real important backups are on CDs.

But under everyday use each machine is a 100% standalone unit.

because you are running xppro and not sharing anything, you can do what I did. I setup a share on my wife's comp and added myself as a User on her comp w/ Full permissions. Nothing shared on my comp. So if I want to do a quik backup of anything I just dump it on her comp (which has a faster cd burner than my laptop). I'm not worried 'bout the wife giving me a virus cause if she really wants to get me she'll wollop me on the head w/ a 9 iron!

Seing as how Wife has been introduced into this discussion mine just about came right out if her chair when she found
A shortcut to this sitting smack dab in the middle of your Desktop.

And of course with a black background it stood out like the proverbial sore thumb. When she asked what it was, I just had to say I have no Idea. Where did it come from ? I have no Idea. Should I open it ? It is your machine .

This is Real Life sharing which I like.

The PC sharing being discussed in this thread I can take or leave. ( more leaving than taking )

And speaking of the 9 Iron. When we play golf on the PC I have been threatened more than once. And very glad at times that the clubs are not real. Lots & Lots O' Laughs.

As you more than likely can see by now I have pretty much given up FIGHTING WITH the piece of hardware and leaning more toward having fun and enjoying it more.
