[geeks] in need of XP assistance

[Andrew Weiss]

Force share everything using the properties tab in explorer.... XP uses 
something called Simple File Sharing that appears to only be XP 
compatible (turn that off and share the old way... it has check 
boxes...it then sets a whole bunch of permissions).  You have to force 
it to share things with older machines i.e. 98 NT 4.0... it's very 
frustrating.   Not to mention performance of file sharing is crap.
