How Do I Change a Share-Name?

[one]

I want to change the so-called share names that I use to share my two
machines.

I originally created 'machine 1' for entire c directory on one machine
and 'machine 2' likewise for the other. I did that by right clicking
on c: in Windows Explorer>Sharing & Security>Sharing>the window with
the share name in it. Even though 'Share This Folder on The Network'
is checked, I cannot change the names.

Both machines are WXP PRO and networking works fine.

Can someone help here?

Thank you

Delete and recreate the share.

Share names (once defined) cannot be changed.
You can either define a second (new) sharename or stop sharing the 'old'
name and share again with the new name.
