Recently, I have found a need to access my files from other PC's on my local LAN. I quickly found out that I needed more control on the type of sharing offered by the simple sharing option Windows XP offers by default. To change from simple to advanced file sharing do the following.
Turning on Advanced File Sharing
- Run Windows Explorer (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer).
- Click Tools, the click Folder Options...
- On the View tab, under the Advanced setting: subsection local the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) and uncheck it.
It's basically that easy. Now you have more control over your shares.
