Hello to all
I have just got a lap top with Vista,using my desk top pc running vista I set up a home network but I don,t seem to be able to share files ,when I go into network using my laptop I click on my desk top and I get 2 options a public folder and a user folder when I click on public folder I get various public sub folder all of which are empty when I click on user icon it takes me to the public folder. Can I not access regular folders or do I need to put every thing into public folders this does not seem right to me.
your help with this would be great.Thanks in advance for your time.

Jump to PostYou need to enable sharing on your c:'s drive so that the network can access it.
Jump to PostThank for your reply could you tell me how to enable sharing on my c:'s drive
Hello raytraci,
Control Panel/Network and Internet/Sharing Options or something similar
Jump to PostClick on my computer, right click c:, goto sharing & click, check to see if it enabled for sharing there. The network will always share public folders.
