For instance,
you may create folders for family photos, home budget, social events, school issues,
and so on, and share them each differently with different users.
Step 2: Share Your ???Share???
Right-click your new Share folder and select Sharing and Security, as shown in
Figure 3-1. A Properties dialog box opens with the Sharing tab displayed, as shown in
Figure 3-2. Check the Share This Folder on the Network check box and then provide
a Share Name, which is the name you would like this folder to be known by across
your network (I chose ???lt-share??? to identify the shared folder on a laptop). Click the
Apply button.
To allow users to change (modify or delete) or write new files in your share, within
their respective user account rights, check the Allow Network Users to Change My Files
check box. If this check box is cleared, other users may only read and copy the files from
the share. Once this step is complete, your shared folder and files become ???visible??? on
your network and are ready to be used by other users from other computers.

Right-click the folder
you will share with
others and choose
Sharing and Security.
File Sharing 19
The sharing settings are valid and active only when the user who established the sharing settings
is logged on to the computer. If another user is logged on, the same folder is not shared, unless
the logged-on user configures the shared resource as described in this step.
