sharing drive and all sub folders in XP Pro SP2?

[Guest]

I recently upgraded to XP Pro from a Win NT network. Everything seemed to be
going well until I had to share what used to be my dedicated network (F
drive with the rest of the network. When I allow sharing on that particular
drive, the rest of the network can see that drive and expand it to see all
the subfolders, but when they try to open a sub folder access is denied due
to lack of permission. I can share each subfolder individually, but I have
subfolders within subfolders - I would have to individually share hundreds of
them. Each time I share a subfolder it shows up as its own network place
within network places. Talk about confusing the staff !!! Does anyone know
of a way to share a network drive and all its subfolders without having to
individually share each subfolder. It seems obvious that if an entire drive
is shared, you would want ALL folders and files on that drive to be shared as
well - but maybe that just makes too much sense - or maybe they want to force
me to buy Windows server 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tim
