I can not access dirves on my local computer using a UNC address(\\local-computer-name\share-name). Windows XP is installed and i am in my own Workgroup. I also has set 'share this folder on the network' and 'allow network users change my files'.
I get the message '\\local-computer-name\share-name' is not accessible,....

Check your error log, is there a more specific error message?

I get the following error when trying to set advanced settings for a COM PORT from Device Manager: "You must have write priveleges in the registry for this device in order to modifiy the device's advanced settings.". I am running XP Pro and had no problems do this up to last week. Another computer in our office has the same issue. Have not loaded any new software in 2 weeks.
Able to open regedit but can't change any values. I was able to last week.

I did some searching about your problem and found a few results:
1. Make sure that your firewall (if you have one) isn't blocking registry access. If you do have a firewall, is it ZoneAlarm?
2. Try booting into safe-mode and see if you can set it then.
These are the most common solutions. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help.
Still unable to access advanced settings in safe-mode.
Does not appear to be a firewall problem (I do not have ZoneAlarm) because I have 5 USB-RS232 adapters and can access advanced settings on 1 of the 5.
The 4 that I can't access are missing 3 registry keys:
ForceFifoEnable
RxFIFO
TxFIFO
Replacing these key allows access to the advanced settings in the Device Manager.
Big question is how these keys got deleted on 3 XP machines on the same network.

Ok, I did some more searching but I didn't find anything new. The only thing I can think of is to check your computer privileges (assuming you are an Administrator) just to make sure nothing accidentally changed.

Malware could possibly corrupt registry keys, also any software that you might have uninstalled that used those same keys.

Thanks for your help.
I have administrator privilege, I had to change some of the privileges in REGEDIT to allow me to change values.
It's just weird that's it happened all of a sudden and on three computers. We regulary access the advanced settings on all 3 computers and just found this problem yesterday.
SpyBot, Webroot Spy Sweeper, and Symantec Antivirus didn't find anything.

Not really sure, and I can't run that script from the computer I'm at right now but I assume (yea I know)

I want to play a (trusted) game online that requires me to allow 4 incoming TCP ports in Windows Firewall. None of them appear to be used by Trojans, not that I run any programs I don't trust anyway. Is it safe to open the ports?
Thanks so much,
Pete

Basically, no, never 
In reality, sometimes you have to open ports. Unless there is a known vulnerability with that game, noone will have an additional point of entry to your system, because any connections to those ports will be evaluated by the game.
Your system, however, will be more visible if anyone tries to probe these ports.
After all, I regularly open ports to play games online, but I keep them shut when I do not use the game that needs them.
Cheers,
Sebastian

An alternative, both easy and secure, might be that both of you set up a VPN between both of you.
Your VPN will create a virtual interface, that basically doesn't need a a firewall, but it only accessible over your private network. What you and your friend (well, only the "server") needs to do, is open one port.
I use openVPN for this, which is free and open source. And you can run this over obscure UDP ports.. so all portscanners will see, is -say- UDP port 38492 which is open.. and all traffic have to be encrypted and authenticated anyways.
Hope this helps, it improved my gameplay

If you are using Unix/Linux there are commands for that. I believe you should look up "ln". If you are using MS windows, then you need to start looking at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/aa365503.aspx to see how it can be done. I do remember a program called "junction.exe" written by a company and supplied for free to the public, but I can't seem to find it right now.
