sharing folders in XP

[Radioactive Frog 0]

In 2k i could share my folders on my little home network and set all the settings and who was allowed to access them etc ! however i don't seem to be able to do this in XP i either share them or i dont ! ( is there any way i can enable the feature of playing with all the settings?

 

thanks

Did you disable simple file sharing?

OPen my computer - tools / folder options / view - very bottom

 

"use simple file sharing" - uncheck that.

What exactly does this do? XP has been a hassle to share between Pro and Home edtitions.

What do you mean what does it do?

Changing between simple sharing and advanced means the user can specify the settings for which the file can be shared ! i just like to be able to see all the settings and some times i only want some network users to access the folder !
