Need help to reenable file sharing on my network

[Strider879]

Apparently my brother has denied my permission to access his computer to get my files. I went back to go and try to renenable it but the private folder option is still ticked and I can't untick it. I then went and do a lot of stuff that I can't remember and I somehow manage to get it untick. However after reenable file sharing, parts or portion of the folders are still unaccessible for me. Why? How do I fix this so that I can go and get all of my files? Thx

If you map the C$ share as the Administrator, you should be able to get access to everything. I've always had trouble with that damn private folders thing.....

go to a command prompt and type:

net use x: \\localhost\C$ /user:Administrator

where x: is the drive you would like C$ mapped to.

man this is really annoying me...Sorry but your command didn't work as I got a error 85 and it said the drive name is already in use. Is there a way to clear the private folders or disable it so that I can go and get the files? At the moment, I can't grab all of it and some of it I can get. I'm thinking of forcing my bro to format the computer to fix this problem, but I want to recover all my files before I go to format.

if you can make him format his comp why can't you get him to redo the permisions? or is it that you can't figure out how ? if it's the later and you have access to his comp , copy everything to the shared docs folder or another folder that is already shared.
good luck
