We have 4 PC's in the house all running XP, have just got a new laptop with vista on, not really got to grips with vista yet and I have a question regarding the sharing of the "my documents" folder
On the XP machines it just a case of setting them to all use the same workgroup, then setting file and printer sharing, then finally setting the folders you need to be shared, then all other computers can access it
Now, I can use the vista machine to access those folders on the other machines, but I cant for the life of my fathom out how to allow those other computers to access the my docs folder in vista, I have set it to shared, made sure it on the workgroup, I have tried to google it but I am not getting my head around it as it seems long winded
any ideas? must be simple and quick!!
thanks
