Question re: rs and all Sub-Folders

A

AA Smith

When I right-click on a folder then select Sharing and Security using
Windows Explorer and check the "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow
network users to change my files" check boxes, that ONLY makes the selected
folder sharable; none of its sub-folders. So, as far as I can tell the only
way to share all of its sub folders is to apply file sharing as described
above to each and every sub folder. Surely there's SOME WAY to apply
sharing to a folder and all of its sub-folders without having to go through
such an ordeal.

How can I apply sharing to a high-level folder and have all of its
sub-folders automatically become shared without having to apply sharing to
all of its sub-folders one at a time?

I shall greatly appreciate your help on this.

See my reply to your second post.

And please, only post once. There's no need to post twice as that just
tends to make people who may have looked into your problem ignore it
instead.

Sorry 'bout the second post. After I posted the main message in this
string, I realized that I had messed up the subject so bad that I wasn't
sure anyone seeing it could tell what I really wanted to know. I presumed
that certain folks would have more experience & knowledge on sharing than
others, and since I accidentally wiped out the word "sharing" from the
subject I decided to repost with a more appropriate Subject so that folks
scanning Subjects only could more easily determine the nature of my
question.

However, I won't do this again.

Well, that's a good reason then. I didn't even notice the messed up subject
line actually.
