Win XP Pro - Share Porgram Files Folder

[Bill Boineau]

Is it possible to share the programs file folder and all
sub-folders? I've thought I'd sharred the entire drive
of a host XP Pro's system but I'm not able to see any of
the folders or files below the program files on the
remote computer. Local networking.

Un-share the drive, disable simple file sharing, then re-share the
drive. Everything on the drive should then be shared.

To disable simple file sharing:

1. Open My Computer and click Tools | Folder Options | View.
2. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings.
3. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended).
