re: Can't view Program Files or Windows directory from remote PC Saturday, April 8, 2006 at 2:36 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) Some directories (folders) are not shareable using Simple File Sharing. You need to turn that off then use Access permissions via the Sharing and Secutiry property to set them. All systems should to have the same group name, userid and password (to make it a bit easier). Then you go into each drive, create a new share (dont' try to use C$, D$, etc., they are used for internal requirements) and set the necessary access rights. I just went through this recently because I could not share some of the directories under Documents and Settings that I needed between 3 XP machines.
