| | Partial Remote Access Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to grant foldershare only partial remote access? I would like to have a few folders available remotely, but I am wary about sharing my entire computer. Mike |

| | Re: Partial Remote Access Hello, Yeah - I get that it would be with my credentials - that's what I want. Still, it seems weird to me that they would not have an option to close off areas of your drive from remote access by foldershare. It effectively means that you are putting a lot more faith in your windows live password than you probably should. Alternatively, if they had a way to deny remote access to a few areas, it could be a pretty powerful tool. Mike "Anthony R.
