Am I the only one that thinks that sharing drives over a network becomes more difficult with each new release of Windows? I swear, it's unbelievable. It takes me about an hour to get it working right, and then, about a week later, I suddenly navigate to a folder that I don't have access to, even though I told Windows to share the entire drive. It's maddening!!! I understand the security issue, but it's doing me much more harm than good.

The reason why it is harder to share files is because of security. Every product in todays society worries about security and that is what microsoft is doing. There are trying to make it harder for outside individuals who are not supposed to be on a network from accessing files across a network.
