How to Share windows folder in XP Pro
- Thread starter MALICKA
- Start date
Is your filestore FAT32 or NTFS?
Begin by copying the necessary DLL files from c:\windows\system32 to the folder that holds the application program. It is likely this is sufficient for them to be found.
If not, you likely will have to create a share to the entire drive at its root, which is not desirable, but may be necessary.
Are you certain you cannot install the application on each workstation, and point the application for its data files to a common shared folder?

Open Windows Explorer, and right click the drive label.
Properties, Security, and highlight the Group 'Everyone'
Give that Group through the checkboxes full permissions to read, write, etc.. the drive. Click the Advanced button. Highlight the 'Everyone' Group. Click the box at the bottom to have all folders inherit as children the permissions.
Apply.
Test again.
