Make sure that the Server service is started and is set to start up
automatically: Start | Run | services.msc

If that doesn't help, look for relevant messages in Event Viewer:
Start | Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Administrative
Tools | Event Viewer. For more information, see:

If that doesn't help, please reply to this message in the news group
(not by E-mail) with more information to help other people understand
the problem:

1. How are you trying to share additional folders?

2. What exactly happens when you do it?

3. If there's an error message, what does it say?
