>>I'll look at those, but I just don't get it. I'm on the PC telling it to share with everyone with all rights. From C drive on down through the directory structure. Every folder along the way.

>That's pretty drastic, and not good for safety/security. Are you doing this just because you're frustrated that you can't get things to work?

Yes.

>>Then it shows up in my network list on the network so I can see them on the laptop. Why can't I access them? This stuff always seems like such a pain to me. I'm sure it's just because I don't understand it, but it seems very convoluted at the same time.

I kept going down the tree to what I needed access to because I couldn't get to them otherwise. Actually still can't, so I really didn't gain anything. This is the deal:

Users are:

On PC (JayServer)

Brenda (Administrator)
Jay (Administrator)
Monica (Restricted)

On Laptop (JayWS)

Jay Johengen (Administrator)

On the laptop I can get to to documents and settings\Brenda and all folders files below. This was setup a few months ago. I want the same thing for Jay and Monica, but it won't let me have access.

Brenda and Jay are Administrator

>Are you sure that permissions are being propagated to child folders?

I'm not sure of anything at this point. Like I said, I started at one level and just kept going down lower when I couldn't get access.
