Nowadays many people cant live without networking and file sharing so there is a short tip how to share files over the local network?
Click right mouse button on folder which you want to share and in pop-up menu select Properties.
Click Sharing tab and set a tick Share this folder on the network. Then write share name or leave it the same as folder name. Click Apply then Ok.
Important. You will share all data (including folders and sub-folders) you have in shared directory. Also you should know that you can't share folders that are on desktop.
Enjoy!

I keep seeing printers as shared when I access my comp from someone else's computer. Even though I have no printer why is it being shown there?
