I have XP-Pro on two computers Networked together through a switch, and I am
trying to work out how to network them for Printer and File Sharing.
when I right click on a folder, like My Documents, and then click on Sharing
and Security-the resulting box is not the same in both computers on #1 I see
General, Size, Sharing and Security. On machine #2 I see only General and
Sharing and that latter has fewer choices. How do I make that machine give
me the full network security window?
