Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / May 2008re create shared documents folder
I have just attempted to set up a home network and found that my laptop has no shared documents folder. Can I recreate the folder without having to do a full restore? The laptop works fine in all other respects running office and 3rd party applications. Just no Shared Documents folder. >I have just attempted to set up a home network and found that my laptop has >no shared documents folder.

Run the Network Setup Wizard, which will create the Shared Documents folder.

I am logged on as administrator. > >I have just attempted to set up a home network and found that my laptop has > >no shared documents folder.

Do a web search for "shared documents access denied". It will give numerous pages with the solution to this problem, including: You receive an "Access is denied" error message when you try to access the Shared Documents folder in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897103 SignatureBest Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
