First, what version of Windows are you using? Second, just something because something is "shared", does not mean EVERYONE has access to it. Windows does allow you to set permissions at all kinds of different levels. Now, if it shared to ALL users, that is different (if you are wireless, I hope you are using a firewall, especially if you have given ALL access to your whole system). Make sure the May user is in the "user" group that has access to the drives. Something else you may try, I assume you are an administrator on the Windows machine. Use That name and login info.
