sharing files
 

Sorry to butt in....
Does allowing file and print sharing affect people
having access to my computer. I mean like hackers.
I have zonealarm firewall.

Thanks
Alan

Have you enabled File and Printer sharing. Control Panel | Network and
click
the button "File and Print Sharing" on the Configuration tab. This should
now
add the sharing tab to your drives and folders.

There is supposed to be a "sharing" tab in the properties
display of most objects.
My system does not display the sharing tab.
How can I get the tab to appear?

If they can get past the firewall they'll have access.

OK, I'll turn the sharing back off. Don't want any
holes left open if I can avoid it.
