Sharing Files
Q. You may now access this disk drive or folder from another
computer on your network. Do so by double-clicking the
"My Network Places" icon on your desktop or inside
Windows Explorer.
R. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or
folder (recognized by the "Computer Name" you provided),
double-click. You should now see the disk drive or folder,
double-click. If you specified a password when sharing this
disk drive or folder, you will be prompted for the password.
S. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the
network from most Windows applications. To make this
process easier, Windows allows you to map these disk drives
and folders to a drive letter on another computer. For example,
on a computer where you are accessing a shared folder from
another computer, inside Windows Explorer right-click and
select "Map Network Drive·" You will then be able to assign
an available drive letter. Checking "Reconnect at logon"
allows Windows to map this network drive each time you
start your computer.
