    Sharing Password


    Hi,

    I installed Windows 7 the other day and I it said that I could set a password for sharing files over the network it also said that I could skip this section of the installtion if I wanted to so I decided to skip it. My question is now how do I go about setting up a password for sharing and select what files to share?



    Can you please let me know,

    Thanks,
