mAcOdIn Veteran Posted October 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2002 and if that doesn't work then uncheck "use simple file sharing" in any folder goto tools, folder options, view and it's all the way at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mAcOdIn Veteran Posted October 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2002 Probably because of the stupid, totally unrelated, irrelevant, ignorant, out of the way place they put it. Oh and that was for the XP box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
