Chuck,
Well, I just tried to share other folders as well, folders inside the
'Program Files' folder, deep into the folder tree, not the root 'Program
Files'. It won't seem to let me share anything at all. Is there a
specific service that may be disabled to disallow the sharing? And I
don't understand why I can share the 'My Videos' and 'My Music' folders
that are on my other Windows XP computer.
