If I have shared C:\, should that give me access to all of the

It won't. You lack sufficient permissions. You should expect the ability
to share your user folder and the public folder.

Windows has certain OS associated folders that it will not allow to be
shared. I believe c:\users is one of those folders. Others are the
Program folders.

As I see it, you can share Users, but not all of the subfolders (i.e.,
not all of the users) will be available. But, IIRC, even on your own
account form another machine on the network, permissions can be weird.

I don't use it much, so I haven't bothered to work it all out.
(Intellectual laziness?)

If you would want to share \Downloads you would open \Downloads in
File Explorer go to Share in the menu at the top of the window, and set
the values to share that pass word.

That agrees with what I said elsewhere in this thread. Maybe AT will
listen?
