> done that but how do i now browse the files on the other pc please??

In Explorer...
1) On each PC, right-click a folder you want to share then click Sharing
and Security. Check to share this folder and fill in the other boxes as
appropriate.
2) Either..
a) Scroll the directory tree panel down to My Network Places and click
it. Then click Entire Network and Microsoft Windows Network.
You should now see your workgroup. Click it and the computers should
appear. Click a computer (not your own, obviously) and the shares on tat
PC should appear.
b) Select Tools from the menu, select Map a Network Drive, and fill in
the boxes as appropriate. Drive <letter> will now appear on the Explorer
left panel and you can access the files through that.
