Hi:

Thanks for the info, unfortinately, I am betweena rock and a hard place.
These users are a very private bunch and to have them agree to an sign
anything that they will percieve as restricting them or giving someone access
to hard drives will cause a major uproar and the onwners who want everything
micromanaged. Your eailer post about resetting the the autoshare is good. I
just managed to look at the comuter. All the setting for the C$ shares are
there, however my admmin account has been deleted. I have just tried logging
into the hard drive with the Administrator account and it works. Thank you
for you help, by the way do you use a chat service, maybe next time I have a
issue I can contact you direct.
