Applies to:

Summary
When multiple computers in the home are networked together, customers can share music, videos, and pictures. A person using a computer located in the den can open and view pictures located on a computer in a child's room. To do this, folders on each computer must be shared with the other computers on a network. Then, Media Center Extender can find these files no matter where they are located on the network. The files can be on the Windows XP Media Center PC, or on another computer connected to the network.
Information is provided here for setting up file and printer sharing on the computers on the network so they can be accessed and viewed on a TV that is connected to Media Center Extender.
