| 433418 | 2006-02-24 20:28:00 | OS is XP SP2. In File Explorer, when I right click on a folder and then select "sharing and security", nothing happens. I can share the root directory but not any of the other folders. Can anyone help? |

| 433425 | 2006-02-25 01:14:00 | You would probably need to be Administrator to do this. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||

| 433427 | 2006-02-25 05:24:00 | If you have the root folder shared then all sub folders are shared. Are you sure you have taken off the root share before trying to share the sub folders? Just s athought! | berryb (99) | ||
