When we were running NT 2000 Prof at work, the only way we could share
files around the office was by email, since we weren't allowed access to
any shares on machines.  Yuck!

I got around it by running BinkD on each machine, with 'fileboxes' for each
other configured as desktop folders.  So, we simply dropped files as needed
into the desktop shortcuts and off the file(s) whizzed to the appropriate
machine on the BinkP magic carpet.  :)

BinkD runs on numerous operating systems.  It's marvellous for
file-sharing, BTW.  =:)

Cheers,
Paul.
