Manage and Troubleshoot Access to Shared Folders

Windows XP Professional is more than a desktop operating system; it is a peer-to-peer

networking platform. Using Windows XP Professional, users can give other users care-

fully restricted access to files and printers across the network. Share permissions are

similar to file permissions (when simple file sharing is disabled), but share permissions

can be defined regardless of the underlying file system.

Besides traditional file sharing, Windows XP Professional users also have the option of

creating Web shares. Users access Web shares in the same way as folder shares, or they

can be accessed with a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer to present a more

interactive Web interface. Web shares rely on the World Wide Web Publishing service

instead of the Server service. The World Wide Web Publishing service is part of IIS,

which is not installed during a standard Windows XP Professional installation.
