Enabling file sharing

The first time I used the Sharing and Security dialog box on my new installation of WinXP (in attempting to share a folder), I clicked the Sharing tab and then some kind of link in the Network Sharing and Security area of the dialog box.

Some sort of dialog box or Wizard appeared and strongly recommended that I do the Wizard so that my network would be more secure. I bypassed the Wizard, thinking I could just go back to it later. Now, however, I find that the Network Sharing and Security area looks different than it did the first time, and I don't have the option to do that Wizard to make my network safer.

Can someone tell me what that Wizard was all about? And is there a way I can can have another opportunity to run the Wizard?

Thanks,
Rick
 
Run a firewall and you should be fine.
