ok what you want to do is called file sharing...
if your work laptop has some security stuff setup this might not work.
to do it:
-get on the laptop that has Granceys files
-right click on the folder that has all of her files in it.
go to "Sharing" in the pulldown menu ( I actually think it says "sharing and something" but I cant remember the something... I'm telling you this from memory.
- a new window will pop up... you may get a security message or whatever just hit ok or continue, click on the sharing tab
- you should be able to hit a checkbox that says "share this folder on the network" then hit ok
-now you need your laptops name, right click on my computer and go to properties
- one of the tabs will have it... I cant remember the names of the tabs... I think its the second or third. but write down the name
- now go to Granceys desktop machine double click on my computer
- type in "\\yourlaptopname" into the address bar at the top.
-you should see the folder you shared double click it, and start copying files like a madman.
-=troubleshooting=-
-it asks for a password when I put in "\\yourlaptopname"
try the username and password you use to login to the laptop
-it just doesnt work
Turn off windows firewall on both machines
if my directions dont make sense at one point lemme know, I was doing it from memory(I'm at home and running linux only) I can try to clarify tomorow when I'm at work on a windows machine if necesary.
