In WinXP, it is possible to share a drive and all folders in the drive? [swoop] [folders]

Q: I am able to share the drive, but I would love to be able to all in one fell blow-sharing . is this possible?


Re:It's already shared. The share is just hidden. Do start | run and type this:

\\<your computer name here>\<your drive letter here>$

See??


Re:On Winxp I don't think that shares "everything" I think stuff under c:\documents and settings\<username> doesn't get shared…. maybe a few others. You may have to add some if you want that stuff. -TAL :-)

Re:Well to fix it I disabled then re-enabled file sharing for the drive. Then I disconnected then remapped the drive….now it works.

I am wondering if I just clicked "OK" instead of apply the first time I went through the sharing process.

Thanks for the input.


Re:i was able to share all my and files by sharing just the drive. hmm… i dunno whats up with ur OS. i dunno if it makes a difference, but i have simple file sharing enabled.

i always thought that if you shared the root drive, all were considered shared…

im hoping youre not trying to share youre entire main drive, and that its just some media/data drive or some such, but im pretty sure by sharing the drive itself all become available

I'm only trying to share a second hard drive that has only data on it.

It seems that I have to enable sharing on each folder separately.
