Installing an app: it asks me about something strange...

[tirengarfio]

Hi,

during the intallation of an app called andlinux it ask this:

"Please create a shared folder and enter the requested information.

Name of the Windows file share: (here i have to write)"


So i go to "Shared documents" and create inside a folder, but when i go to
install process and insert the name of that folder, it says "There is no
share folder with the specified share name".


What's the problem? What i have to do exactly?


Bye

What you need to do is create a folder on your hard drive (not in Shared
Documents) and then share it (right-click on it).

But, what should i do after the right-click on the folder???

Go to properties, sharing. Press F1 for help with sharing a folder. There
are different ways in XP Home and Pro ... simple file sharing is your only
option on Home.

Solved: I belong to a local area network and i didn't hace a user account, so
i couldn't share folders...
