Uploading Files to My Network Places

Hey there peoples.. i'm not sure if everyone is able to access everyone's accounts on the network, but so far all the guys can reach the other guys' comps..

so anyway, we'll try it ok.. just to share stuffs on the network..

1. Copy/Move the file you want to share to a shareable folder. (The one which i use is 'Shared documents' under My Computer)
2. Right click the folder you would want to share and click 'Properties'.
3. Click on the 'Sharing' tab and under 'Network sharing and security', make sure the 'Share this folder on the network' box is ticked.
4. When you go back to the folder, it should show some kind of hand holding it. This means that the folder is now shared. Hurrah!

For convenience's sake, our boys' computers are under a workgroup.. to set it to the workgroup:
1. On your Desktop, right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'.
2. Click on the 'Computer Name' tab.
3. There will be a section where it says 'To rename this computer or join a workgroup, click change'. Well, click change! =)
4. Change the name of your computer to your liking but set the workgroup name to 'VISTA'.
5. Click Ok till everything looks right..
6. Tell Wei Kit if it works! =)

Though this is a bit late, haha, but nevermine, it's still early enough to let me grab something from you all before saying goodbye to the system. :)
