Hi,

I posted my question in another forum, I got no answer, so maybe it was not
the right one. So I am going to try here, I hope I will be more lucky :)

I know how to share a document in My Documents, but I am trying to share
pictures and documents stored in another folder in Photoshop, actually I
would like to know how to share any file or folder wherever it is in my
computer. I already have some but cannot add more at the moment.

I did the usual share and click both boxes, but it doesn't work. Actually
when I double-click the second manchine'name, I get it is not accessible....
If I open Windows Explorer, ONLY my documents are displayed

I use XP pro in both machines and I am the only user in my small Netgroup,
both computers are in my Network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

1. On both machines, create identical user accounts and passwords. If
you wish a machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular
user's account) for convenience, you can do this.

2. On both machines, uncheck the box next to Simple File Sharing in
Folder Options>View tab>last item.

3. Create shares with permissions as desired.
