Enabling File Sharing
After following the preparation instructions, double-
click on your My Computer icon. A window of avail-
able disk drives will appear. Using your right mouse
button, click once on the drive or folder that you want
to make available to other users. Click on Sharing, fol-
lowed by the Sharing tab. Click on Share As. In the
Share Name box, enter a name for the drive or folder
you are sharing, (eg: C-Drive, CD-ROM, Leela, etc.).
Next, decide on the type of access that you want to give
other users.
• Read-Only access lets other users view the files
on your PC.
• Full access lets users create, change, or delete
files on your PC.
• Depends on Password lets users have Read-
Only and/or Full access, depending on the pass
word 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 Apply button,
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 or folders that's password-protected, he or
she will be asked for the appropriate Read-Only or Full
access password.
