>>I want to map to my home PC from my laptop, but it's asking for the password. The administrator on the PC does not have a password. So, is it the password that was used during setup? I only ever use two and it is not either of those. Where in XP can I set this if it was blank? I know there are utilities that can change them, but I would rather go through the normal means first. Thanks!

>>UPDATE: I tried using MMC to set the administrator password on the PC, but the laptop still will not connect as it won't accept the password. I can connect through my other mappings to drives on the PC, including the C drive, but not using the \\MyPC\c$ syntax. Shouldn't this work?

Want to get full access to the box using "\\MyPC\c$" or I think that's what I should be doing. Didn't think to try "\username" on it. I'll try that now.
