re: the answer Saturday, January 11, 2003 at 11:51 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Noah (1 messages posted) Hi I just read your answer from June about the access denied issue. I found this solution before but I could not use it because I can't find the "Use simple file sharing" option. I looked in the explorer-->tools-->folder options-->view and found other options but not that one. (I am running an XP home os). If you can help or anyone else I would truly be greatful!
