Enabling File Sharing

After following steps 1-5 on the previous page, double- click on your My Computer icon. A window of avail- able disk drives will appear. Using your right mouse button, click once on the drive that you want to make available to other users. Click on Sharing, followed by the Sharing tab. Click on Share As.

In the Share Name box, give your computer a name (you can call it whatever you want--Mary's Computer, Tardis, etc.). Next, decide on the type of access that you want to give other users:

•Read-Only access lets other users view the files on your PC.

•Full access lets users create, change, or delete files on your PC.

•Depends on Password lets users have Read-Only and/or Full access, depending on the password that you decide to give them.

Use your mouse to select the type of file sharing access that you want other users to have. If you want to assign access password(s), type them into the Password box(es). When you're done, click on the Apply button, followed by OK. Your drive(s) can now be accessed from other users whenever they click on their Windows Network Neighborhood icons. If a user tries to access one of your drives that's password-protected, he or she will be asked for the appropriate Read-Only or Full access password.
