PC1 can see every shared folder and its files inside of PC2
PC2 can see every shared folder of PC2 but***
***PC2 cannot see what's inside of PC1's shared folders
***PC2 can only see what's inside of PC1's "Shared Documents" folder.

I've tried sharing folders under desktop and under D: and got the same denial.
Tells me access denied and that I need permission.

 

I'd try using the simple file sharing.... you said it's unchecked but I think that's what I use and I don't have any problems. Odd that the one folder that shouldn't have problems is.

 

Doesn't work with simple file sharing...

 

what about the permissions on the "shared folder" folder?

right click -> properties -> secuirty

check the perms there.

also might be worthwhile checking how its shared (ie if there are any rules there.)

 

Permission > Read > All

But now, nothing was done and it's working.
Screw M$!
