RE: Accessing Vista PC Files From XP Wireles Desktop

I am having the same problem and have not found a solution. What I have
found is that the only folder that I can access on the Vista machine is the
public folder. So if I want to move stuff to my XP machine I first copy the
files into one of the c:\Users\Public folders and then I am able to transfer
the files to the XP box. The reverse is true if I want to move stuff from
the XP box to the Vista box. I hope this helps until someone comes up with
the real answer.
