    cannot share folders/libraries


    i am not able to share any of by folders or libraries, as there is no option what so ever in either the context menu or the navigation/menu bar

    i checked the entry for this in shellx menu of registry and it is there but not visible else where

    is it due to some service turned off??

    When I right click on Documents under Libraries, I see this:

    cannot share folders/libraries-sharewith.jpg

    Can you share other folders?

    Don't know if this will help or not, worth a try: Share with - Restore when Missing in Context Menu
