| | Sharing Folders It asks me if I want to open a sharing folder with a contact so I click yes and then it says "Your computer does not support sharing folders." Is there a way to fix this and make my computer able to support sharing folders. I am using a Pentium 3 with Windows XP. |

| | Re: Sharing Folders Greetings Spencer, What's likely happening is the file system on your hard drive is formatted in the FAT32 format as opposed to NTFS which is required for Sharing Folders to work. Note that the standard file transfer will continue to work, regardless of the file system. If you really want Sharing Folders though, you can simply convert your hard drive to the NTFS format. The steps for that can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb456984.aspx -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Spencer" <Spencer@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6640199E-88F1-444D-B426-B26DB4476852@xxxxxx Quote: > It asks me if I want to open a sharing folder with a contact so I click yes > and then it says "Your computer does not support sharing folders."
