Not sure if this should be in the 'Networking' forum...but what the hell. I've currently got a small network in my house (3 PC's, 2 of which are mine). Anywho, I'm not using 'Simple File sharing' as I've never been able to get it working in the past. Whenever I want to share a new folder, rather than just right-clicking -> properties -> sharing -> 'share this folder', I also need to do the following (otherwise no-one can get access): Security -> Add -> Advanced -> Find now -> highlight 'Everyone' -> OK³. Is there any way of making Windows do this automatically, as it's a real pain. (using XP + SP1 btw)... Any help greatly appreciated.
