My PC seems to have died and need a new graphics card, but in the meantime I need some files on that PC. I have a laptop connected on a LAN with it, but I don't have the files I need shared. Is there anyway I could do this from my laptop?
Way to access a computer on a network and share a folder with another PC?

Although he'll need a GFX card in the machine for it even to POST, if the card is dead and he can't get it to start.
Win2000/WinXP Pro you can use the admin share (as Burnsy said), but it wont work for XP Home (which is most annoying)
