Guest Jethro Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I want to change the share-name of a folder on local machine. I brought up Windows Explorer and right clicked on the folder - then selected 'Sharing and Security'. I try to change the share name in the resulting window, but it won't let me. Why not? I tried the same thing with a folder that as of now had not yet been set up as shared and lacked a share name, and it lets me enter a name just fine - so something is different in the first case. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Jethro
