Creating
a Shared Document
Most of you Windows
XP users have probably heard about shared documents, but do you know
how to set one up? If that process has always confused you, have no
fear, because that's exactly what I'm going to show you how to do
today! Now, just to make sure we're all on the same page, allow me
to give you a brief explanation of what a shared document is. A shared
document is a file, document, music, picture, etc. you keep in your
My Documents folder so that anyone who uses your computer can view
it. They're just files you don't mind sharing with everyone. Okay,
now that you’re informed, let’s get started!
1.) First, go
to Start and click on My Documents.
2.) Next, single
click on the folder that contains the document you want to share.
If you want to share more than one document, go ahead and select them
all.
3.) After you
choose your documents, click Edit.
4.) Then scroll
down and click Copy to Folder.
The Copy
Items dialogue box will then appear.
5.) Next, click
on Shared Documents.
6.) Finally, click
Copy.
Windows XP will
then make copies of the documents in the Shared Documents folder.
Once that's done,
you can view the shared documents by going to Start,
My Computer. Once the My Computer window opens, double
click on Shared Documents. The Shared Documents window
will then pop up for you. That's all there is to it!
You can now make
your very own shared documents with no problems whatsoever!
