    None of your share names have embedded spaces right?

    Do you mean Shares that have a SPACE in the name "MyShare" or "My Share" ?

    Yes. That will kill the XP network browser dead.

    Well I have had these Shares working with XP for about a year now (Until Win7 SP1), and have had XP to XP shares with Spaces in for over 5 years. So I can't see how that is possible. Are you sure your not thinking about 2000 or NT4?

    I have removed any shares on the system with Spaces in but that didn't Fix the issue.

    Update: I now have an error on the Windows XP box.

    "WorkGroup is not accessible, The Semaphore timeout period has expired"


    **Update

    If the Administrator password is changed so it is not the same as the Windows 7 PC, the PC will Prompt for Authentication pause for 30sec and then display the Root of the UNC Path.

    I can only establish this to be some extra security in SP1

root directories
in General Discussion

I need to edit the .ini file in a program I've loaded but Windows 7 does not show the root directory. I've used the Command Prompt to access the program file and the root file is not displayed. I've tried to search for the .ini file but the system says it can't find it. Can anyone help?
