Unable to view some shared files

I purchased a new desktop PC with Windows Vista. I've enabled file sharing
and specified the folders I want to share on my home network and I am able to
see all the folders I've shared on my desktop PC from my wireless laptop.
However, for some reason I'm only able to access some files within the shared
folders from my wireless PC. The files that I'm able to access were created
or updated subsequent to the purchase of my desktop. The folders with older
files show up as "empty" in Windows Explorer.

I'd appreciate any assistance.
