Shared Folders overview
Using Shared Folders, you can view a summary of connections and resource use
for local and remote computers. In Windows 2000, Shared Folders replaces
resource-related components in the Windows NT 4.0 Server Control Panel.
With Shared Folders, you can perform the following tasks:
Create, view, and set permissions for shares, including shares on computers
running Windows NT 4.0.
View a list of all users who are connected to the computer over a network
and disconnect one or all of them.
View a list of files opened by remote users and close one or all of the open
files.
Configure Services for Macintosh. This enables personal computer users and
Macintosh users to share files and other resources, such as printing
devices, through a computer running Windows 2000 Server. (This is available
only on computers running Windows 2000 Server.)
Macintosh clients need to run an Apple networking protocol to access
Macintosh volumes and Macintosh printers.
