How to share folders trough your homenetwork

A friend asked me last week if it was possible to share a folder trough his wireless network at home. I said yes, he responded "k, but how?" which led to a little tutorial I wrote for him. And i thought "Hey, let's put it on my blog." So here is is(Of course i cleaned it up a little :p):


How to share folders trough your network

Step 1
The first thing to do is to check if you're computer is connected to the right network.

Right click on "computer" in the start menu and select "properties". If the name in the area highlighted on the screen shot below is the same then is probably alright.

 
Step 2
Now left-mouse button on computer and than on the left you should see "Network" on the list. Click that and Windows Vista will scan the network for the computers on it. And if it's all gone right you should see all the computers on it.

Step3
But that's not all. You only got the computers in your list now but not any folders. To share any folder just right-click on it and select "properties" than click on the tab share and click advanced share. Just tick the box "Share this map" and you are done. To access the folder just repeat step 2 with the computer you want to access the folder. and Click on the computer the folder is on. And you should the the shared folder.
