firstly i'm a complete newbie and i'm operating a dell laptop with windows XP home edition.

I stored some music file in the shared music folder on my laptop and now when i try to access it is says:

C:\.........\Shared Music is unaccessable
Access Denied

Ive tried looking for related post and found several saying it might be something to do with sharing settings, however when i look at the folder properties it has a size of 0kbs and there is no security tab and i can't find "Simple file sharing" in mycomputer tools folder options........
also there is only one user on my laptop so there is no other users to share file with.

please help

thanks

i'm running XP Home Edition

firstly what is Safe mode, and i can't find the security tab in the file's properties. If the folder size registers as 0kbs are the file that were in it lost?

thanks
