    I have a Vista desktop and a Win7 laptop. The desktop stores all of my files. I am having trouble accessing a few specific folders.
    In Win7, when I hit start, network, the desktop computer shows up, and I can double-click it to see all the folders I am sharing. I have no trouble accessing two of the folders (music and video) but I am denied permission accessing Pictures and Documents. The strange part is, my PS3 can access the pictures folder.
    Anyway, not sure how to fix this. I thought I had all the sharing permissions the same for each of these folders.
