Win2k Right-Clicking Problem (LAN File Sharing) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mr.Deflok · 08-16-2003, 05:47 PM

Hi, I'm running Windows 2000 Professional on two PC's at home, one PC is the "bad ass" one and the other is the "bitch", basically I've networked them both together but have come across this little problem. On the bad ass computer whenever I click "Sharing" nothing at all happens. Now my bitch machine is fine, can make a whole heap of shares with no problem but the bad ass machine won't let me.

I've noticed sometimes that when I right-click and select "Properties" on folders or drives nothing happens either. However when I select two or more folders or drives then clicking Properties does work. Unfortunately this doesn't work for "Sharing".

Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

p.s. I can still connect to default shared drives on the Bad Ass machine via the Bitch.

I suppose I could just set up shares manually via the Computer Management applet but it'd still be handy to do via Explorer.
