Windows 7 Sharing Folders Issue
Hello,
I'm new to these forums and hoping to find a solution to my problem. I just got Windows 7 and I'm having this sharing issue. On Windows XP, if I had a folder in 'My Documents' called 'My Pictures' and I shared it, it would only share 'My Pictures.' Now, in Windows 7, when I share 'My Pictures' it also shares every folder back to the root folder of 'Users.'
In other words, to share that one folder, it shares all the folders included in the C:\Users folder, instead of just the C:\Users\User Name\My Pictures folder. Same goes if I put a folder on my Desktop.
The only way I found as a work around is to create a folder C:\Shared and have that shared, and it will only share that folder. Is there a way to solve this? Or do I have to put everything I want shared into its only root folder?
Always,
Bawbjohnson
