Trouble with Shared Folders: "network path was not found"

I installed Parallel Tools and set up /Users/MyUserName as a shared folder. On my WinXP desktop is a shortcut to a folder called "Parallels Shared Folders." When I click in there I see a folder called "/Users/MyUserName." When I click on that folder, I get a message:

\\.PSF\/Users/MyUserName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found.

Please help! Thanks!

Try uninstalling and re-installing Parallels Tools from Windows. Uninstall using WinXP's control panel Add/Remove Programs, and install again using Parallels Desktop's "VM" menu, "Install Parallels Tools" menu item on the Mac OS side.

 

hmm...

That didn't work I get the same error.

 

Oh, nevermind. I'd given the folder a Name identical to the Path and I guess Windows didn't like that or something. I renamed it simply "MyUserName" and it worked just fine. Thanks!
