Well, I want to be able to access pictures on my moms computer from mine. Shes running wireless, and connected to our connection. How exactly do I get to her pictures? (what do I need to turn on)

Set up a shared folder in the root of the C drive and dump the pictures you want to share into it. (Right click the folder -> Properties -> Sharing and Security. You don't have to go through the wizard.)

On your computer, hit Start -> Run and enter:

\\[computer name or IP address]\[share name]

For example

\\MOMSPC\Pics
\\192.168.1.102\Pics

Make a shortcut. (Drag the folder icon from the address bar to your Desktop.)
