Hi,

I am trying to make D drive a shared drive by right clicking choosing
properties etc but there is no option to enable sharing for the whole of D
drive.I used to have D drive shared before i reformatted it,and cannot
remember where there is another setting that will enable it.
It is other wise able to be seen by my other pc and vice versa,only this
little problem.

Thanks

You apparently have XP Pro. Disable "Simple Sharing" from Folder
Options>View and you'll get the advanced sharing capabilities.
