Hi folks,
Just a quicky about networking
My office (small company) has 4 or 5 notebooks all running Vista or Windows 7 in various guises of Home, Home Premium etc.
For the past while there has been a shared folder on one of the laptops where all the "stuff" is held and backed up from but now we have more staff security is an issue so we want to still have that generic "stuff" share for everyone to access holding letterheads, comp slips and open stuff but also have a folder for the business owners to view only.
Im not up on networking so thought it would be as easy as clicking on the folder thats to be shared with only specific people and select those people from a drop down - but that would be toooooo easy
I did a few google searches too and got myself into a right muddle talking about domains, group policies and what nots.
Can someone give me the For Dummies version on how to do this or if its indeed possible using Home based Windows systems.
Many thanks for reading this far
Rik
