Thanks Richard, I did it. And now, what do I do?

Yes, and that's the expected behaviour of a shared folder or file. It
doesn't move from one computer to the other, it stays on the computer it
was
created on. The other computer in the network can access the folder or
file
but when it does it accesses it from the original location. Windows
Networking does not move files from one PC to another.

If you're looking for something that will allow a shared folder or shared
files to replicate from one computer to another (there will be a folder
on
each PC, with the files in that folder residing on both PCs) then you
need
something like the Sync Toy from Microsoft:

Could anybody help me step by step on how to share files? Or tell me
where
to find some litterature I can understand. In all possible "help", it
is
explained how to share a file in a computer with several users.

My problem is to share files on two computers connected in network
through
a
router, and I am the only user. I already created my folders in both
computers, went to "sharing and security" and checked "share this
folder
on
the network...." and "allow network to change my file" etc... I even
went
to
Computer management, but of course I am the administrator, and there is
nothing I can succeed to do. My folders stubbornly stay on the computer
where
they were created.

Someone already helped me for some files, but I have nothing in
written,
and
I just cannot. It didn't seem so difficult yet!

I HOPE someone can help me once for all solve this problem.

Thanks a lot
