4.3.4. Windows 7: Sharing public or personal folders

Reminder: In Windows 7, there are two types of folders: personal or local folders and public folders. A
personal folder is a folder belonging to a specific user created on the computer, whereas a public folder is a
folder that can be shared by any other user of the same computer or the same network. In essence, a public
folder is shared, and therefore available to everyone for viewing (the minimum authorization level). For sharing
personal folders (your folder of your own images, for example), you must select the users who will be able to
access their contents and set the authorization level, as indicated in the following procedure.
1. Select the folder that you wish to share, without opening it (in this case, your My Pictures folders).
2. Right-click the folder. Select Share with.
