XP network help

I have set up my laptop and desktop under simple file sharing and I noticed one very nagging thing when I tried to access my program files. I got a message telling me "All the options on this tab are disabled because this folder is used by the operating system" after trying to share it. I know what this means but does anybody know how to tell it to let me in anyway?

I found that article that might help you.

Another thing I heard was to share each folder individually within the programs folder to get access.. i dont know if it works because I have never shared the program folder.

Thanks for the links Boogs...that link is cool...when you type in what it says...a password box pops up...I have no idea what to put there because I have never set a password for any of my accounts. But I think your idea of just sharing the folders individually will work fine...there are just a few progs that I want to be able to get into.
