Managing Shared Folders
Although you can create, remove, and change permissions for individual shared folders from Windows Explorer, this technique has one significant disadvantage: it offers no way for you to quickly and effectively review the settings for all shared folders on a computer. You have to browse through the entire hierarchy of folders to see which ones are shared. If you forget that you've temporarily shared a folder, you could end up sharing important data. For a more centralized approach, use the Shared Folders snapin for Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
To start the Shared Folders snap-in, open Computer Management (right-click My Computer, and choose Manage) and then navigate to System Tools\Shared Folders. You can open Shared Folders in its own console window—without all the clutter of Computer Management—by typing fsmgmt.msc at a command prompt. Figure 14-7 shows the Shared Folders snap-in, which works essentially the same under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Figure 14-7. Use the Shared Folders MMC snap-in to view and manage all shared folders from one central location.
To use the Shared Folders snap-in, you must be a member of the Administrators or Power Users group. And to use it for anything other than merely viewing shares, sessions, and open files, you must have Simple File Sharing disabled (which means that Shared Folders is of limited use to anyone running Windows XP Home Edition).
When you open Shared Folders, all the shared folders on your computer are visible in the Shares folder. If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can view shares, sessions, and open files—period. If you're using Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional with Simple File Sharing disabled, on the other hand, you can modify the properties of any folder by right-clicking it and choosing Properties. The folder's Properties dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 14-8. Notice that using the Share Permissions tab shown here achieves the same end as opening the Properties dialog box from a folder in Windows Explorer and clicking the Permissions button on the Sharing tab.
