I have done this before, but it seems to be being a pain right now. I right click on the folder I want to share, tell it to share it. I want everyone to be able to use it, or maybe just ppl who I give a username and password to. If I make it "Everyone", it doesnt work when I try it on someone elses computer..I seem to remember some little trick you had to do in order for it to work..Anyone know?
Thanks guys

are you able to see the drive the folder is on from the other computer? if not you need to share the drive. Once the drive is shared you should be able to navigate to the folder from the other computer in windows explorer, right click on the folder and select copy to desktop

You have to either enable the guest account or create accounts (with same usernames and passwords) on the Win2k machine.
