O. "Passwords:" allow you to apply a level of security to your
shared disk drives and folders. Another computer (user) will be
required to enter the password you designate here before accessing
the disk drive or folder. Two passwords are used to give two levels
of security (or access) to others on the network using the "Depends
on Password" setting. Leaving the "Password" boxes empty gives
everyone on the network access to the disk drive or folder.
P. Click "OK" to continue. You will be prompted to enter the
password(s) you provided for verification. Retype the
password(s) just as you entered them the first time.
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.
