Public Folder v Sharing

External Since: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 49

If i put things in the public folder does it double the amount of files on
my PC?

eg. i copy all my music files to public 20gb then becomes 40gb of music or
does it simply point to the location of the music files?

i want to share with 2 other computers on the network but neither have an
account on the master computer. can i allow them access to shared folders if
they are not an account holder on the main computer?

They don't have to have a user account on the main computer. You are only
using a Local Area Network

But can't help without more info.

You don't say what OS the computers are running, Vista or Vista/XP combination
