I need to share files from 2 of my PCs across my WIFI network. I set file sharing on the appropriate drive so that the little hand appears on the folder! Nowadays with XP SP2 it seems that there is not an option to share all subfolders. Has something changed since I last set this type of thing up: is this an SP2 thing. Nowadays the subfolders are not shown as shared and there does not appear to be an option to share them. Do I haver to go through the tedium of arranging sharing for each sub folder?

Also, even when sharing is set OK I still can't get access to my families accounts. I used to do this, so what has changed?

I need to do this to perform regular backups over my network
