What is the best way of doing this? I have a Belkin Router which when the PC turns up for my sister I will link up. I have tried file & printer sharing but I dont like how it gets set up, it makes folders on your HD where you have to transfer the files to, to be able to retrieve them, is there another way of doing it? perhaps making my sister's hard drive appear as another drive letter on my PC?
Is there any decent software to do this or will I have to use the XP File & Printer Sharing wizard.
Thanks all,

First, disable simple file sharing. To do this, click "Control Panel", "Folder Options", "View". Clear the tick on "Use simple file sharing (recommended)".
Now, if you want to share a folder (XP won't allow you to share individual files, just the contents of a folder or a printer), right click on it, select "Sharing". You can then specify the share name etc on that dialog.
You share printers in the same way, but right click on a printer and select "Sharing".
