John,
When you view the properties of a file or folder you will see a number of
tabs.
General
Sharing
Security
Customize
Version
There may be more, depending on the type of file/folder.
You have to do this...
Right click a file/folder | And the click Properties |
The sharing tab is not visible if you are logged on to a machine with an
account that does not have adequate rights.
The sharing option is not available for the Documents and Settings, Program
Files, and WINDOWS system folders. In addition, you cannot share folders in
other user's profiles.
or...
The Sharing tab is not visible....
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Server service |
Set Startup type to: Automatic | Click Apply | Click the Start button |
When it has started, click OK
If you do not see the Server service..........
This will restore the Server Service (lanmanserver).
Open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings, click Control
Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. | Right click Your
Connection | Properties | General tab | Install button | Highlight: Service
| Add button | Highlight: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks |
OK | Close
