How Do I Rename my Shared Drives, Why won't XP let me?
Hi again all,
If i right-click on a for example the D Drive called "DATA" in explorer and select "Sharing & Security" the tick the box to share this drive it give it a default name of "DATA (D)"...
How do/can i change the Default shared name like u can with 98/2K etc?
the problem with the default shared names is that thay are listed in alfabetical order....
what i usually do to get around this is put the drive letter as the first part of the shared name so it gets the order right... however it seems XP won't allow this...
if i cant sort this out then i'll have to rename the drives themselves to like "D DATA" etc, but then that would still leave my network s'cuts on my other PC pointing to the wrong place, and some network s'cuts like the favorites cant be moved with TweakUI on 98 unless the original is still available...
Thanx in Advance... Regards https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
