Network Sharing and Security!!!

[pobrien32]

Hi,

Just a quickie..............

I'm trying to rename my shared drive from this pc running win xp home.

When I try to rename the folder in the 'Netowrk Sharing and Security' panel,
it wont let me?!?

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please clarify what you are trying to do. You say in one
sentance you are renaming the drive, and in the next you say folder.
Which is it? (I don't know what drive renaming would mean).

When in the Network Sharing and Security dialog box, which tab is in
place? Are you trying to rename the folder name (Tab: General) or the
share name (Tab: Sharing)?

Finally, what is the specific/exact error message?

Does the ID you are using have permissions to do this renaming of drive,
folder, or share?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

I don't believe you can change the name of a share while it's being shared.
You'll have to un-share it, then re-share it and type in the new name you
want the shared folder to use.

Are you renaming the local or remote share?

You can create multiple share names for the same point.
