File sharing

[jess]

I am trying to modify the properties of a file so it can
be shared in my budding network(not yet working). However
I cannot do this because the properties window does not
have a SHARE tab, as the instruction I am reading shows.
What step am I missing? Please help.
Thank you

[Richard G. Harper]

Files don't have a sharing tab. Folders do.

I am sorry. I meant Folder. Thanks.

is there a command "Sharing..." in the right-click context menu? I imagine
not...

Ah - that's different, then. :-)

Have you installed the File and Printer Sharing network components? Open up
the Network icon in the Control Panel and see if File and Printer Sharing is
installed.
