Whoever came up with this solution: I actually just had to hack my way through this problem on Saturday.. let me guess, this is a Windows XP box that's part of a workgroup, not a domain? If so, you'll need to disable 'Simple Sharing' to allow an administrative user to connect to the C$ share. This is done by loading an Explorer window, and go to Tools->Folder Options. Go to the 'View' tab, and scroll all the way down. Uncheck the Use Simple Sharing (Recommended) option. I actually had problems finding this, so I ended up posting it to my blog - post is at:
THANKS. I can now backup My Documents, which I couldn't before. Great find. ___________________________________________ David Williams > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Khaled [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 27 September 2005 10:21 > To: Nate Carlson > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sourceforge.
