Sharing Folders

To prevent others on the network from accessing sensitive files on your computer,
you can set the access level on a folder by adjusting the shared files properties. The
shared properties can be changed to meet your file security needs.
CAUTION: You should never share your Windows folder or any of its subfolders or
`
files. The accidental deletion of any Windows file can prevent your computer from
operating properly. If you choose to share your entire hard drive carefully consider
the type of access you will allow.
