Set up Window XP shared folder

Set Up Shared Folder in Window XP

I understand that setting up a shared folder in window xp, especially when you are sitting behind window firewall need a lot of luck. I too, have gone through the hard time in setting up the shared folder. Below is my printscreen to help you go through the set up. Some of the steps is not necessary, if you manage to get your shared folder up before that. That all, good luck =)

p/s: i like the culture of sharing. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and do your possible to share also. It will make our world a more cute one =)

1. click on set up a home small office network

turn on the file sharing

Next and click “Just finish…” in the end

2) Open control panel -> admin tools->local security policy

Remove the guest from the list

Third Step

3 )Enable Guest Account

• go to control panel->admin tool->computer management->local user and grp-> users->enable the account

• then right click on the guest account to set password

• 

Fourth Step

4) Firewall setting:

Exception->file and printer sharing->(tcp 139)->change scope->any computer

Repeat the same for the rest of (tcp 445 ….udp 138)

Step five: (this step might be not needed) - perform only if your sharing still not working

5) Check if the component is install (client, service, protocol)

and that's is. Happy sharing!
