I am not 100% sure this is in the right spot but it has something to do with networking I think. Ok, I am trying to share a file from my laptop to my desktop. I did it all right, now I bring up windows explorer and go to My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network -> Workgroup and then Cmills(number here). I see the logs folder but when I click it I get this following message:

Anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix it?

You probably didn't set the permissions correctly.
Go to the folder and select it. Then in the top select "Tools".
Select the last option, Folder Options, and look for a tick box "Simple file sharing".
Make sure this box is turned off.
Then open the properties of the folder and go to the sharing tab.
Now you can set permissions for the folder.

Goodluck!
