    I have two laptops and I want to be able to access both hard drives from each computer. I've got a wireless router, but I'm not sure how to do so. Any help?

    1. You have to be in the same work group.
    2. Share the folders with the files that you need shared.

    Just follow the instructions on this page from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

    You can just share the entire drive. Thats what I do, I have my entire C drive shared.

    I wouldn't share your C: drive, because that's your boot drive. If I gained access to your C: drive I can start erasing sensitive OS files or even able to transfer over a virus or trojan. If you still want to share your C: drive then I would disable the part about allowing users to make changes to your shared drive. Hope that helps.
