To Share a Drive or Folder on the Network

Share a drive or folder on the network

To share a drive or folder on the network

  1. Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the drive or folder you want to share.
  2. Right-click the drive or folder, and then click Sharing and Security.
    • If you are sharing a drive, on the Sharing tab, click If you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive, click here.
    • If you are sharing a folder, go to the next step.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If the Share this folder on the network check box is available, select the check box.
    • If the Share this folder on the network check box is unavailable, this computer is not on a network. If you would like to set up a home or small office network, click the Network Setup Wizard link and follow the instructions to turn on file sharing. Once file sharing is enabled, begin this procedure again.

Notes

  • To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
  • To change the name of your folder on the network, type a new name for your folder in the Share name text box. This will not change the name of the folder on your computer.
  • To allow other users to change the files in your shared folder, select the Allow other users to change my files check box.
  • If you are logged on as a Guest, you cannot create a shared folder.
  • The Sharing option is not available for the Documents and Settings, Program Files, and WINDOWS system folders. In addition, you cannot share folders in other user's profiles.
