    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.
