Creating a SHARED FOLDER in EXPLORER

by arowbothama . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

Kids stuff I thought at first, but I was wrong…..

The problem;
At work I have NT4 SP5 domain with 500+ users all mapping home directories etc, all of which I have no problems with. If I wish to add another NT user\account to the domain, I first create an account, and secondly, create their personal home directory. My problem occurs when I wish to share the new user’s home directory. I can only do this by executing ‘winfile’ via the ‘run’ prompt which loads up 16-bit ‘File Manager’. Is this the onlyway?

N.B If a particular network drive is shared ie drive e:\ as e$, then all directories winthin this drive can be shared in explorer via right-clicking. If the drive is not shared, you don’t have this option.

Sorry for the long note,

Regards,

Andy
