Following up on what I wrote earlier, I managed to find some help on
windowshelp.microsoft.com. What i did not notice is that when you are looking
at the folder list and you click on one of them, a "Share" button appears in
the toolbar. By clicking on that you should be able to share your
file/folders with others. It does not work quite like it is described by MS
and, for example, when I click on Share in the File Sharing window it
declares that the folder is now shared, but when I click on "Show me the
files I am sharing" I get nil ! Well at least, I can now see a laptop folder
in "My Netwrok Places" of my pc, but it is empty :-)
