Do you know how to uninstall winXP PRO?
I am having problems with file sharing on WinXP Pro. I shared a directory, say doc as doc, on the same computer where doc is, when I use \\mypc\doc to view the share, I can see the printers shared under \\mypc on mypc. Of course, I will not be able to access this share on other PCs. What's wrong? Thanks.

Can't instal FP2002 upgrade - WinXP Pro
Then WinXP is definitely the way to go. In a corporate environment, I wouldn't advise someone upgrade to XP unless there was some burning need (not likely), Can not open a system file, change something, and save it.
