hardware_dave Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 when i go to share a folder, everything in that screen is blanked out More details please, how do you try to share it, what screen is blank ? Dave Quote Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
hiko Posted December 3, 2007 Author Posted December 3, 2007 the whole section is actually greyed out... although you can see the options, you cannot change anything Quote
hardware_dave Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 What section ? Try right clicking on a folder then clicking on sharing and security. You do have admin rights on this pc ? Dave Quote Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
hiko Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 yes i am the admin on this pc under netowrk sharing and security both check boxes are greyed out... Quote
hardware_dave Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Is there a message saying - the options on this tab are disabled because this folder is in another folder that is private ? http://www.home-network-help.com/file-sharing.html Dave Quote Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
