Once share names are created on my XP Pro (SP2) computer and my XP (64) I
can't change them. Surely it is possible to change them? How do I do it?

Thanks

I don't know of a direct way to change a share name. An indirect way
is to un-share the disk/folder, then re-share it with the new name.

As Steve said, you can't change the name directly. You can stop sharing a
resource and then share it again with a new name but that's about it.
