I'd never set up a connection between a Mac and Windows before and within a couple minutes looking for instructions on how to do it, it was done.
I've got a folder on my computer that she can access but I can't see any of her files. All she does is copy the files into my folder, I edit them and save them to the same folder. She then copies them back out onto her Mac.

I think you will find that on mac you need to set yourself up with a username & password, then you will be able to access all stuff allowed to users other than admin-user, but use help in menu bar of mac and it will guide you through. I also recommend upgrade to OS 10.3.9 (but no further) as there are a few progs that won't run on 10.2 and the self-heal is fully automated whereas 10.2 performs it only on shut-down+re-start. Mine is a powerbook which normally never gets shut down.
(When I go to my daughter's and since Angus gave me an access folder and password to his PC system, my mac automatically picks up his wireless network, which is great for me as I can use my own bookmarks, web-mail etc)
