Appendix C: Sharing Your Files and
Printers
By sharing your files and printers, other PCs on your network will be able to
access the resources on your PC.
Before sharing your files and printers, you should prepare your computer to be
used with any file servers that may be on the network. If you are not using
Windows 98 or Me with an NT, 2000 or XP file server, or if you are not sure if
you have a file server, continue below.
If you are using an NT or 200 domain server, refer to Appendix D: Windows
98 and Me Client for Windows Domain Server for client setup.
1. Double-click the My Computer icon. A window of available disk drives
will appear.
2. Right-click once
on the drive or
folder that you want to make available to other users.
3. Click on Sharing, select the Sharing tab. Click on Share As.
4. In the Share Name box, enter a name for the drive or folder you are shar-
ing. This can be any drive on your PC—floppy drive, hard drive, CD drive,
zip drive, etc.
5. Decide on the type of access that you want to give other users.
• Read-Only access allows other users to view the files on the selected
drive.
• Full access allows other users to create, change, or delete files on the
selected drive.
• Depends on Password allows other users to have Read-Only and/or Full
access to the selected drive, depending on the password that you decide to
give them.
Overview
Note: If you are only using your PC to access
the Internet, it is highly recommended that you
create passwords for your shares.
