folder on the other compute I have two computer, both running xp home edition. I can't access my program files folder on the other computer because access is denied. There is no way to share these folders on a security tab. Is theere any way at all to crack this or something?
you need to enable file sharing.Windows XP lets you share a computer's disks and folders with other computers on the network, using a method called Simple File Sharing. And it really is simple. If a disk or folder is shared, everyone on the network can access it. There are no user permissions and no passwords. Because sharing in this way is so wide open, Windows XP tries to protect you from some potential security risks.Check the link it will answer your queries

If both computers belong to the same network it's easy. Go to Windows Explorer and highlight the folder you want to copy files from/to. Right-click the folder and select Sharing and SecurityOn the Sharing tab select Share this folder on the networkClick OKAccess should no longer be denied

Why do you want to access that folder anyways, its not like you are going to be able to use it. There is a way to do it, but most likely windowsxp does not allow you to access this folder when the cdrive is shared.
