Home network, 2 PCs, Windows XP(PC1) and Windows Vista(PC2). I have run the Network Wizard om boths PCs and I can access both computer's Shared Folder from each other. So far it works. My question is, what shall I do if I want to access all the folders in computer PC2 (not only the Shared Folder created with Network Wizard) from computer PC1? Thank you!

Create a new share at the root of C: on PC2 and give access to PC1.

MS restricts that to some degree, you don't really need such access for any good share setup. There are ways around it. You should only share the folders you need to share not the entire drive.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

You may need to set each folder on the computer to share. Most subfolders are then shared. Share My Documents, Desktop, and that should be the extent of what you normally need. If you want more access you may want to setup remote desktop.

You can share the entire drive but it's not advisable to do this due to security concern. Always share the folder that you need only. :o)
