Display
the Sharing Tab in Folder Properties

In Windows 2000, getting to the Sharing options for a folder was
simple: Just right-click, choose Properties, and you'd see a Sharing
tab. In Windows XP, this feature is missing by default, but you can make
the system display the Sharing tab if desired. Simply open up Folder
Options (My Computer, then Tools, Folder Options) and navigate to the View
tab. In the Advanced Settings section, scroll down to the bottom and
uncheck Use simple file sharing (Recommended), a Mickey Mouse
feature if there ever was one. Now share your folders on the LAN as you
would in Windows 2000.
