Subfolders sharing... HELP!!!
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your reply... I did it and got the old way back, but I might be getting a little old :-))) I can't do it... I either let everybody access everything or something is not accessible by anyone... would you please give me the correct way to do this? I am going nuts... I have added all users to the WXP account manager with the same passwords thay use to log on their machines, but the problem mentioned above remains... THX, Lupo |

Subfolders sharing... HELP!!!
Open Windows Explorer, select menu Tools | Folder Options; select View tab,
deselect 'Use simple file sharing (Recommended)' option in the Advanced Settings and click OK. Now, right click on a folder, select Properties, click Sharing tab, select 'Share this folder'; click Permission button and add (Add button) whoever you want to have access to. To give just read permission, check Read option or all options for full control. "Dr. Roberto VALENTE" wrote in message om... Hi all, I have a simple but, so far, unsolvable problem: I am building a small file server on my machine, XP Pro, on a small network... I have created C:\FileServer and subfolders named David, Robert, Paula... Now, the problem: I would like for "David" to put stuff into the directory and just read the other directories, without being able to delete or add anything... same goes for all users... How can I do it? It was a breeze in W2K :-( Ciao, Lupo |

Steve Winograd and Ron Lowe have written a good article on how to do
file/folder sharing in Windows XP.

Subfolders sharing... HELP!!!
It's a breeze in XP too, just doesn't look the same by default. If you
want to get the W2K way back, open Explorer and select Tools, Folder Options and go to the View tab. Scroll down in the list of advanced settings all the way to the end and remove the check from "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)." Click Apply. Once that is turned off, sharing and security will be added to the context menu of each folder, allowing you to set up the shares and permissions that you want. -- Tom Porterfield Windows XP / Smart Display MVP http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tp.porterfield/support Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup only.
