Viewing shared folder properties

On the Shared Folders tab on the console, click a shared folder and then click Properties to open the properties page for a shared folder.

On the General tab of the properties page, you can change the name, description, and Folder Duplication settings.

On the User Access tab of the properties page, you can change the user-account access to the shared folder. If the shared folder is associated with a specific user account, the name of user account appears in bold.

Note

You cannot change the name of any of the shared folders that are automatically created, such as Music, Photos, etc.

If you change the user access to a shared folder, some users may receive Access Denied errors when they try to access the shared folder. If this happens, they may need to log off and then log on their home computer before they can access the shared folder again.
