Topic 4. Sharing Disks/Folders

Once the network has been checked / configured, you can access other systems via "My Network
Places". To allow other systems to access data on your disks / in your folders, you have to give
permission to share your disks and/or folders.

1. Select the disk (or the folder) to be shared (for example in "My Computer") and right-click on the

icon of the disk to get the Context / popup-menu; select "Sharing and Security."

It is recommended to share only folders instead of the disk drive to avoid any security related
issues.
