    I'm new to all of this WHS stuff but here it goes.

    I've the server set-up with three user accounts and three networked PC's.  I'm unable to access any of the user folders from my PC eg \\Server\Users\user-name  I get an access denied error.

    The computer I'm accessing from is the same user-name.  In WHS, this user has full access but I cannot access any other users either.  I can access all the shared folders though.

    Shouldn't I be able to access any user folder if the PC I'm using is the same user name that has full access rights?

    Rather than using the methods in the post Brubber points to, this will get you to the same place without having to explicitly run the key manager DLL directly:
    • Start/Run (on Vista: Start, then type in the search box, which does double duty)
    • Type control userpasswords2, which runs the user account management control panel applet (there are other ways to get to it, but this is really easiest)
    • Click the Advanced tab
    • Click Manage Passwords.
    • Delete your server from the list.
    • Confirm your way back out.
    • Log off and back on to the computer.
    You should also take a look at this FAQ posting, which will take you through the same user account control panel applet. Often you will have a mismatch between the user name on Windows Home Server, and the actual login name on the client PC.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
