Problem accessing a shared folder ironwoodcanyon[ at ]gmail.com 12/30/2008 4:11:27 PM Here's my situation: Three computers on a LAN: Computer "A": Vista Business UAC turned off; no firewall A "shared" folder (C:\AAA) with permissions set to allow full control by Everyone Computer "B": Windows XPPro From Windows Explorer, I can access the AAA folder (add, delete and edit files) on computer "A" with no problem. Computer "C": Vista Business UAC turned on From Windows Explorer, when I try to access the AAA folder I get an "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName\aaa" pop-up. Clicking on <Diagnose> displays: "aaa is available but the user account that you are logged on with was denied access." How can I get it so that Computer "C" has full access to the folder on Computer "A" ?

Re: Problem accessing a shared folder ironwoodcanyon[ at ]gmail.com 12/30/2008 9:45:07 PM No - there's no 3rd party stuff. No firewalls. Nothing on either computer. The post you suggested I look at led to a list of things to check. One of them said something about having a common user id and password on both computer ("A" and "C" in my example). Is that really necessary? I would think that if I share this folder with "Everyone" then Everyone should be able to get to it. Any other thoughts?
