Setup the Music Folder for File Sharing in Vista (Fig. 22)
Click on the Start button of the Host PC and right click on Music. Select Share. In the
drop-down menu, select Everyone and then select Add. Under “Permissions Level”
there is another drop-down menu. Select “Contributor”. If your file sharing is
password protected, click the text labeled “Network and Sharing Center”. This will
bring up a new screen with a drop-down menu, “Password Protected Sharing”. Within
this menu, select “Turn off password protected sharing” and click Apply. This will
return to the “File Sharing” window where you need to click on the Share button to
complete the setup. Windows will confirm that the music folder is now being shared,
and it will give you a link, (Fig. 23). Write down the name of this link, as you will need
it to create short cuts on client computers.
