Connect the two computers so that they are seen on the network2. Open a command prompt3. Type:mklink /d /j C:\Users\(Name) C:\*Replace (Name) with whatever you want and substitute both "C"s with the drive you want to see4. Use the other machine5. Open Windows Explorer6. Click Network (on the left)7. Open the computer with the (Name) folder8. Open the "Users" folder9. Open the (Name) folder (you now have access to another machine's folders and files)Typically, you can only see the "Users" folder of the other computer linked to your network.

richard14110 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Your machines do not have to be "Vista". That is why I included the "at least" before Windows Vista (reread my post). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
