Shared
Folders
For today's quick
tip, I'm going to start out with a scenario for you. Let's say you have
your computer included as part of a workgroup on a network. Now, all along,
you have kept your files private and for your own use, but you've come
across a situation where you need to start sharing those folders. How
do you do that? Well, it's quite simple, really.
Once you have your
folders in place and you have set up the File and Printer Sharing (your
workgroup setup would have taken you through all of that when you first
began using it), you can start the sharing process. Find a folder you
want to share, right click it and choose Sharing. You
can do that for any folder you want to share. When you're done with that,
you will now be in a complete shared status and you're good to go.
Here are some more
tips that might help you with all of this as well: Prepare
for a Network, Making
Shared Folder Shortcuts and Peer
to Peer Networking in Windows. Now, this tip will also come in very
handy for this week's download, which is below under the "Today's
Feature" section, so keep an eye out for that! Happy sharing!
