Directories and disks

If you are unable to share your disk or one of your directories, perform the following the steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, select the directory you want to share.
2. On the File menu, click Properties.
3. Select the Sharing tab, and then click Shared As.
4. To add a comment about the share, type the text in the Comment field.
5. To set a User Limit other than Maximum Allowed, click Allow and specify a number of Users.
6. To set share permissions, click Permissions.

If the Sharing tab is not visible, try using Services in Control Panel (click Start → Settings → Control Panel → Administrative Tools, and then double-click the Services icon) to start your Server service.

Comments help users locate shared information. To read comments, click Details on the Network Neighborhood View menu and look under Comment.
