Windows file sharing
I've got file sharing set up between my WinXP Pro computers with "simple file sharing". One thing that's really annoying me is that I can't access the "program files" directory. I've read a lot of posts on google groups that say to turn off simple file sharing and to use the advanced sharing system in order to get around that "feature". As of yet I've not be able to get that directory to share, even with advanced sharing.

Anyone care to give some decent instruction on how to get that to work?
