I believe he means in his subject line
Sir, which version of windows are you using? Sharing and Security in the context menu will not appear if you have simple file sharing enabled. Indeed, in Windows XP Home, it will not appear at all by default. If XP Pro, in any window, click TOOLS FOLDER OPTIONS go to the VIEW tab and scroll to the bottom and unclick SIMPLE FILE SHARING "Big Al" wrote in message news:BLOPj.5840$Ux4.1288@trnddc07...

Yes, I meant the subject line.
Well, I tried "click TOOLS FOLDER OPTIONS go to the VIEW tab and scroll to the bottom and unclick SIMPLE FILE SHARING" and now I can see one computer (I have another one that I do not see ) but I still can't see 'Sharing and Security' in the Rt. click drop down menu. Also, when I open 'entire networkMicrosoft Windows NetworkWorkgroup, it tells me that "Workgroup is not accessible, I might not have permission and that I should contact the administrator ' (And- I am the admin.!!). So - I can see one computer and the two others (I have 3 on the network) see each other with no problems. Now what ?? Thanx again, Isaac "gerryf" wrote in message ...

Are they in different workgroups?
Right click each MY COMPUTER and choose PROPERTIES Go to COMPUTER NAME tab Each should have the same workgroup name "Isaac Gutman M.D." wrote in message ... Yes, I meant the subject line.
