| | File Sharing in Windows Vista I am running Vista on 3 home computers on a wireless network. I am trying to set it up so that I have unlimited access to each computer from the others, without having to go through and make EVERY folder a shared folder, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I'm not worried about security, as the network is password protected, I just want to see ALL of my files on ANY computer. Any help would be appreicated! |

| | Re: File Sharing in Windows Vista Hi For security purpose Vista would Not let you share the whole drive. You can make a Folder and create as needed sub folders under it. If you share the main Folder every thing under it would be accessible as well. Jack (MVP-Networking).

| | RE: File Sharing in Windows Vista To give you unrestricted access across the network, make Everyone appear in the Security Tab. It is not recommended that the system drive (usually C) is shared but if you have, say, a D partition with music, videos, etc. that you want to share simply right-click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management then right-click the drive graphic > Properties > Security Tab > Edit > Add then type ‘Everyone’ (not the quotes) > OK and below it select your preferences, e.g. Read or Full Control. Now Apply, OK, etc. to finish. "Russ" wrote: Quote: > I am running Vista on 3 home computers on a wireless network.
