This section explains how you can make files and folders available on one computer (a process called “file and folder sharing”) and then access those files and folders from other computers on your network.

To make using files and folders over a network easy, you should assign all computers on your network to the same workgroup if you haven’t done so already. For information about how to do this, look up “workgroup” in Windows Help.

Important Do not assign a computer (such as a work laptop) to your workgroup if the computer is already a member of a domain, and you intend to reconnect to the domain later.
