Lesson 1 - Yeah, that can really screw things up. I've never done it (but then, I've never needed to) and always have one folder that's shared called something like "shared_docs" - that has shortcuts to another couple of folders in it (to "My documents", f'rexample) but that seems to work and keep things clean. Alternatively, as per Twitter etc., I use SVN for a lot of sharing, although it does increase one's bandwidth usage (I never did get round to installing it locally, but have a specific SVN repository for sharable files, so I just add/commit to that, get it from wherever, and remove it when/if I'm done) As for Lesson 2, well, that's just silly. :-P It's bitten me on the backside when doing on-the-fly CSS changes (usually via WebDev toolbar on Firefox) so I usually remember it pretty easily. Of course, a CSS app that automatically adds the brackets is always useful too... re. Lesson 1 – Yeah, that can really screw things up.

On your Mac, you'd go to the Finder, choose Go, Connect to Server... from the menu, specify the location as "smb://computername/c$" and off you go. It should prompt you for your Windows username and password.
