    Try entering the name of your machine such as Clay-PC or what ever it's name is.
    Have tried that with no luck.

    Check your wife's computer to see if your computer is allowed to access hers. Something may have changed there.

    Just tried those suggestions with no luck.
    I have never had to use a password before and have never seen that dialog box until a couple of days ago.

    I am not sure what to look for. Any suggestions would be great.

    I checked my wife's computer as Jaycee suggested and found a dialog box with an unchecked square that said something like "Allow all users on the network to access this computer".
    I checked it and now I can access all shared folders on her computer again. She says she didn't mess with it so the gremlins must have done it.
    Thanks to all for your help.
