    List specific shared folder in Network, not root folder


    I share files on my home network between my desktop PC and my laptop. I often move files between the two computers by placing folders on the desktops and then working with them or moving them to specific folders. The network for my laptop lists its desktop folder, but for the desktop PC, the topline \Users root folder is listed, not the desktop. Network and sharing work just fine. But how do I list the shared PC desktop folder so that I don’t have to drill down through the \Users file structure to reach the desktop folder?

    :)

    Windows Backup Confusion

    After I specifically added the errant folder to my list of folders to backup, I was able to back it up. Normally, if a root folder, say Documents, is added to the backup list, all folders beneath the root folder are also backed up. But, apparently, this
    doesn't happen if a folder is added under a root folder after a previous backup has already taken place. Anyway, the backup is working now, but I think I'll still look for a third-party backup system. I don't really like the Microsoft method.

    How to stop folder sharing

    i have a folder shared using LIBRARIES...Video folder

    the files and folders shared are appearing in network..

    but the question is how to stop a folder or file ...the root folder of which is already shared in Video libraries ...

    i tried the STOP SHARING option which dosen't stop the file from appearing in the shared folder.

    EXAMPLE:

    the folder : TEST = 5 video files A,B,C,D,E

    I Have included this folder in VIDEO LIBRARIES , so it is shared.

    now i don't want to share video 'C' from TEST folder, how to remove this single file?

    already used STOP SHARING option which has no effect.
