Limited User accounts and folder sharing

Hi,

I am building a home network. I have two computers - one XP Home and the other XP Pro. The XP Home computer stores everybody's documents, and on this computer, members of my family have Limited User accounts. I want to share each user's My Documents folder on the network. However, while I can log on as an Administrator and can tick the "Share this folder on the network" box for a Limited User's My Documents folder, when I log on as that Limited User, the same check box is unchecked and disabled. Furthermore from the XP Pro computer I cannot access the folder I have just tried to share.

What is wrong? Is this a limitation of the Limited User account type, or possibly of XP Home Edition?

Some How Some Way XP as completly FOXED the whole networking system they screwed it all up baddly. So Sorry the answer may be wait for the next OS to come out and hope it works.
 
nah, just make sure your limited user accounts are set up correctly, also, with two computers, why do you have multiple limited user accounts?
 
if you want all users to use something there sould be a folder in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\

then from there you can go to anything Desktop, documents, anything copy or cut everything to that location. and allusers on that computer can use it. then you can right click share BLAH BLAH BLAH for the other computers on the network.
