    Can't share


    Hi all, Firstly I'm new to this group & very new to Windows 7. I have messed up & can't find a way out. I have placed some folders containing pictures into my "Pictures" folder. I want to share some things in this folder but not everything. I inadvertantly selected everything in the folder and chose not to share. Everything in the "Pictures" folder ended up with a padlock on them.

    No problem I thought, Just select each folder in turn and choose "Share with / Homegroup (read)". When the next box pops up I agree to share & get the message "folder can't be shared" Helllllp. What am I doing wrong?
