Trying to access a Windows XP host computer over a LAN (local area network) and get into it’s shared folders.

This little turd of an error can be really irritating. It happens when trying to access a shared folder, or any shares, on a remote, but LAN networked, Windows XP computer. After running the Network Setup Wizard on the host computer, and enabling file and printer sharing, it just won’t go away. In Windows XP Professional, you can go into the explorer view settings, and disable Simple File Sharing, which didn’t fix it either.

The fix ended up being a simple registry edit, suggested by Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913628

Here is the process:

To resolve this issue, set the value of the restrictanonymous registry entry to 0. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then double-click the following registry subkey:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. On the right side, double-click restrictanonymous.
4. Make sure that the value in the Value data box is set to 0, and then click OK.
5. Close Registry Editor.
6. Restart the computer.

This worked like a charm more than once for me.

WordPress provides an easy method with which you can update your posts easily as you view them within your site. It is simply logging into your admin area, then viewing your site as a normal visitor. You can edit articles/posts/pages as you view them.

Here’s how:
Login to your site’s Admin area. This is usually something like “http:///www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin”.
Once logged in you’ll see a link at the top of the admin page that you’re looking at (just following your website name) that says View Site >> . Click It.
Now you’re viewing your website. Simply go view the page that you want to edit. You’ll notice a link below the article that reads Edit or “Edit this entry” or something to that effect.
Just click thet Edit link, and you’re in edit mode. Edit as usual.
