File Sharing Configurations (With Windows Vista)
File sharing involves making the media content of one or more files /
folders (on your PC) available through the network. By “enabling” this
file sharing, you can view these files / folders (on your PC) to be
accessed / viewed on your The Product (on the same network).
Caution: File sharing may lead to security problems since, by definition,
it gives other users access to the content of a part of the hard drive. As
a result, it is essential that you share only folders for which it would not
be extremely important if their content were revealed (or destroyed),
Furthermore, you are strongly advised against sharing a whole
partition of your hard drive. This operation is specifically discouraged if
you do not trust the other network users!
