Topic 4. Sharing Disks/Folders
Once the network has been checked / con-
figured, you can access other systems via
"My Network Places". To allow other sys-
tems 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 in-
stead of the disk drive to avoid any security
related issues. Once you have selected the
folder to be shared, right-click to select
"Sharing and Security”.
