Published by admin at 1:51 pm under Education, Know Hows

This tut can be really handy if you just build a home network and you now wish to share your files over it. To do so create a new folder that you wish to share. Right Click Desktop->New->Folder. Now after the folder is created you want to right click it and got to Properties and then the Sharing Tab. Check the circle with Share this Folder then give your folder a name.

Now to access it, go on another computer that is on the same network and go to my network places. If it isn’t listed there try adding the folder manually. To do so right click your desktop and add a Shortcut. In the Box add \\Computername\Foldername. Computer name is the name of the computer that has the shared folder and the folder name is the folder that is shared.
