Windows 7 file sharing
I would like to be able to have Windows 7 sharing like Windows XP after turning off Simple File Sharing. Can anyone provide information on how to do this? Thanks! Rose Wagner

Hi Rose Wagner, Thanks for the post! What do you mean "after turning off Simple File Sharing"? In Windows 7, you can share individual files, folders and even all libraries with other people easily.

Hi Miya, In Windows XP, you could turn off simple file sharing and utlize the security similar to a server's security. I am unable to find that in Windows 7. That is the process I need for my current project. Rose
