Sharing File on Limited XP Account w/ Simple File Sharing Off

[Chris]

I want to share a subfolder in my My Documents folder with other users
in my LAN. When logged in as Admin, the folder shows shared. But when
logged as limited user (the account I want the share to appear under),
the folder does not show as shared. There is no Sharing and Securituy
tab when I right click the folder either. I assume this is b/c Simple
File Sharing is off (it has to be off for another program that I use).

Any ideas how to share this folder?

Your help is appreciated. Thank you -Chris

There are different "My Documents" folders for Admin and for any other
user (any user has his _own_ folder). And if you set a sharing for any
subfolder in Admin's "My Documents" -- the same user's subfolder remains
unshared.

So when you are in Admin account -- enter this user's "My Documents"
folder, and share his subfolder which you want.

I assume this is b/c Simple File Sharing is off<

I assume because it is the limited account: the limited account can't
change this setting.

Were "Simple File Sharing" on -- you won't see this tab even in Admin
account (if not in Safe Mode).
