Enabling File Sharing
After following steps 1-5 on the previous page, double-
click on your My Computericon. 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 Sharingtab. 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 accesslets other users view the f iles on
your PC.
• Full accesslets users create, change, or delete f iles
on your PC.
• Depends on Passwordlets 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 Applybutton,
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.
