# Step 2: Creating a shared folder on a computer running Microsoft Windows

Previous Next

Create a shared destination folder in Windows and enable sharing. In the following procedure, a computer which is running under Windows 7 Professional and participating in a domain is used as an example.

- You must log in as an Administrators group member to create a shared folder.

- If "Everyone" is left selected in step 6, the created shared folder will be accessible by all users. This is a security risk, so we recommend that you give access rights only to specific users. Use the following procedure to remove "Everyone" and specify user access rights.

Create a folder, just as you would create a normal folder, in a location of your choice on the computer.

Right-click the folder, and then click [Properties].

When using Windows XP, right-click the folder, and then click [Sharing and Security].

On the [Sharing] tab, select [Advanced Sharing...].

When using Windows XP, on the [Sharing] tab, select [Share this folder].

Proceed to step 5.

Click [Share this folder].

Click [Permissions].

In the [Group or user names:] list, select "Everyone", and then click [Remove].

Click [Add...].

In the [Select Users or Groups] window, click [Advanced...].

Specify one or more object types, select a location, and then click [Find Now].

From the list of results, select the groups and users you want to grant access to, and then click [OK].

In the [Select Users or Groups] window, click [OK].

In the [Groups or user names:] list, select a group or user, and then, in the [Allow] column of the permissions list, select either the [Full Control] or [Change] check box.

Configure the access permissions for each group and user.

Click [OK].
