Hi Jim,
How you are the only one in the house and would like to set up shares.
;-)
My sweet, kindly, loving and wonderful wife turned into a horrible wart
covered hag with along crooked knife instead of a broom and took me for
$12,000 cash (and took my 15 year old daughter), but I got the
half-finished house.
understand the Pros and cons of assigning permissions and shares.
You have no idea what you are asking.
I know the pros and cons of the security aspect. Now if I could just
kick XP in the shins and set up the shares I need I'd be good. I could
probably figure out how to set up enough folders to cover everything I
need, but why do that when I could do it all in one share?

OK, so much for that use of my time. I get a very long, roundabout
method of getting back to selecting from exactly the same strictly
limited list of sharables I was asking how to get past. And the shares
lead to the exact same limited depth of sub-directories within those
shares as I already had.
I think the essential issue here is that microsoft wants to sell a bunch
of special software designed to give full access to what I need access
to, whatever that software may be. It reminds me of a Motorola business
system sold in the days of yore. For $3000 they could triple the memory
in the machine. Turned out to save time they put the memory in the
machine from day one and charged $3000 to drive out and clip a jumper.
A friend of mine figured it out and charged $600 to do the same clip.
Now if I could just figure out how to get the shares and permissions MS
doesn't want me to get so cheaply...
Thank you very much for your kind assistence.
Jim L
