not sure what you meant by
> File sharing is turned on for the drive.
Turn simplified file sharing off and you will be
able to share drive roots. This simplified sharing
is a "whole machine" setting, not a per drive setting.

Pro.  File sharing is turned on for the drive.  Yes, I can share individual
files on the root of the drive, but not within subfolders on the drive.
That's the problem.  How do I share the subfolders too without setting the
share property on every single one?

Home or Pro?
Simple File sharing turned off?

  Is there a way to share a whole drive over a network without having to
share every individual folder on the drive?  Windows XP Pro won't let me
share my whole drive.  I have to specify each folder on the whole path down
to the last folder to be shared.  What a pain.
  Thanks in advance.
