Vista home basic network

Im running two machines, both with vista home basic OS's - in Chinese. They
can see each other through wireless router, but one cant go into others "c"
drive. Access is denied. I need to be able to map drives freely and see each
others drives, folders and files. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. (I have even been able to map the drives, but cant get into
them), though have been able to share a printer. I have tried numerous
avenues, such as adding "everyone" to permissions, but still have not been
able to achieve success. I know this is possible and probably really easy,
just missing something along the way.
Thank you for your assistance.

First of all, we don't recommend share the C drive.

1. Have you share the C drive? Posting the result of net share result here
may help.
2. Have you assigned permission in both Sharing and Security?

This search result may help too.
