Folder Sharing Problem

[CliveMcF]

Hi,
I'm running a small wireless network with a dual-boot
desktop (ME and XP Pro) and a laptop running XP Pro. A
Netgear router handles the network and connects to the
internet via broadband modem. Used to work fine, but now
in ME I've lost the Sharing tab on all folders except for
the My Documents folder. The laptop can still find all
the shared folders on the network though, and they still
have the hand icon. Printer and file sharing is enabled,
and vnetbios.vxd and its registry entry are present. All
advice gratefully received!

Try disabling File and Printer Sharing, rebooting, and re-enabling it.
