| | How to share entire drives Using the WORKGROUP method on Windows 7, because one of my laptops has XP. I'm the only one using my net, so I want to open EVERYTHING on EVERY computer on my wlan. Googling produced only results for folder sharing. But that's not what I want: got a drive with 90 or so folders...  |

| | Printing the tut now, will read in coffee break...thanks for the link! In the Old Days, sharing partitions used to be simple, but since MS tries to think for us instead of with us, too many constraints are laid...  |

| | Hi barend, It can be such a hassle sharing files and other network resources over your network. Another option is a Network Attached Storage or NAS. A NAS is an external network hard drive; just plug it in to a Network Switch or to a Router’s LAN Port using a straight or a patch network cable. Some NASs have a wireless capability, also with a Media Server built in which will allow music and videos to be streamed around the house; useful for the current wave of internet ready TVs etc .

| | Every drive, by default, has the hidden share applied to it (i.e: C$), couldn't you simply give yourself permission to use those? |

| | Yes. The C$ share (for the C: drive) shares the drive at the root which gives access to the subfolders. You can share the root folder of any drive . |

| | Thanks! How do I do that? Went to Advanced Sharing of my R: drive, and tried to share as R$ name. Got a msg that was not possible because I was already sharing under that name, however I did not share it yet... |
