:)Thanks everybody for your inputs. They were great. The "Terminator" and I found the errant file somehow got put in a "User" directory. We simply deleted it and we are now home free again.:)

The way we sorted the issue was to go into the users and browse to select members, we selected "Everyone" and then gave them full control over the security and access rights on the workgroup network. It seemed to work. Still have a couple of issues; but, I'm a lot closer today than yesterday.

Access is denied! Ugh!

It shows the the drives and computer on the XP's My Network Places - but, when I try to go there it says the same old thing -- access denied!

Still no luck

I'm not really sure how to start with a new user name; but, I'm game if we can make it happen.

OK Here I am

Sorry; but, where to I find post 22?
