Be back with any news.
I'm back.

Here is what I found with both machines started in Safe Mode with Networking (something I never did before.)

lon1machspeed running Win2k

My Network places gives

And I'm describing the icons I see....

folder (open) This one is a shared folder I made
Computers Near Me

Computers near me shows 2 computers properly named for homenet

Under lon2biostar 3 open folders are found

personal folder, homenet, sharedocs (the default one)


On lon2biostar safe mode logged in as user

My Network Places

folder (closed) personal folder
disk homenet on lon2biostar
folder (closed) shared folder

In Safe Mode I can move files now to from personal folder.

This nightmare is brought to you by Microsoft. :-)

I'm hoping you can deduce the sharing violation.

If I remove the personal folder icons and a shortcut made to it,
will Homenet remain intact? Can I get to this stuff from the homenet disk icon?

I'm confused by homenet marked as a folder in one place and
a disk in another. And by the open and closed icons.

I'm sending you this much. Any more would be too complicated.

Please give one step at a time to correct the sharing violation.
