Win2K3 doesn't show the 'Sharing' tab in when I right-click on a targeted folder

[Guest rote]

Hey guys, I want to share some folders over the network by using the File

Sharing utility built-in Windows. However, my Win2K3 doesn't show the

'Sharing' tab in when I right-click on a targeted folder.

 

I know that it can be simple turn off and on in Windows XP by un/checking

the 'Use Simple File Sharing...' option in Folder Options but Win2K3 doesn't

have the option.

 

Is there anyway for me to enable it (to show it)?

Have you enable file and printer sharing? Or this search result may help.

enable it? Netlogon Service doesn't start Info: Network connection problems

on a Windows XP ...

are you connected to the server or browsing to the folder using a unc

path? the sharing tab will only be displayed if your loged onto the

server

It doesn't exist in that location. Highlight the folder you want to

share, then either: Got to File-Sharing and security. Or right click on

the folder and goto sharing.
