I recently set up a network in my house, but when I went
to share several folders on my computer, I found I could
not click the "Make this folder private" box to make the
folder un-private. I have no idea how this came to be,
most likly I did something to screw it up.

My Kazaa "shared folder" however can be shared over my
network. Not sure what this means.

Any ideas would be of great help. Thanks.

Pat
