Windows 10: Silly Question: Was my "item" shared?

I right clicked on an important file and accidentally clicked "Share" then it said "This item will be shared." I didn't click anything else. I just exited.

Was the item shared somewhere? Is it scheduled to be shared? Is it not shared unless you manually click on Bluetooth, Twitter, etc. (which I didn't do)?

I apologize if this is a silly question! The wording "this item WILL be shared" has me confused. Thank you.

Silly Question

Hi Sturner33333,

no such thing as a silly question, only silly answers.

please let me know if that is not what you were looking for.

 

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
