Somehow, while creating shared file status on my two pc network, one VISTA and other XP, The drive content shows two additional drives, drive Y and Z as network drives which I believe are virtual drives, it shows their size as identical to the C drive but now the C drive shows a total size that includes the C and the network ones, which is double. Contents of C are 24 gigs but it shows 48 used. I look at them individually, which looks like a tree structure, and they are actually complete files, not shortcuts. I have had them show up diferrently as I makes changes over time to reo the 'network' linkage now and then, so what have I done wrong to actually createnetwork drives of real content? I expected that the network drives would be shortcuts. Thanks Aug 17 I GUESS NO ONE KNOWS OF WHAT I SPEAKETH. nevermind
