When I access our server (\\servername), am I accessing
the computer or the c: drive?

Are all the folders I see on \\servername shares?

Where should I put windows 98 client user folders? Does
this mean that the folder has to be on the c: drive, and
not in a subfolder?

What I want to do is put a folder in the d: drive called
user folders, and put user folders in them.

Is the fact that I have shared the d: drive so I can see
it (calling it data) making it impossible to share folders
in it?

Finally, is there a way to see the d: drive without using
sharing?

Thanks
