If I download a file sharing program, is there a way it can be used by both users of the computer.?

It needs to be downloaded only once.Most of the time the program can be used by all users of the computer but in certain cases you need t specify it at the time of installation.Anyway the other user need not download one more time.

I'm not totally sure if this will solve your problem, but try disabling simple file sharing.\n\nHere's how:\n1.   Open My Computer from the Start Menu or Windows XP Desktop. A new My Computer window will appear.\n\n2.   Open the Tools menu and choose the "Folder Options..." option from this menu. A new Folder Options window will appear.\n\n3.   Click on the View tab and locate the "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)" checkbox in the list of Advanced Settings.\n\n4.   To enable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is checked. To disable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is not checked. Click inside the checkbox to alternately enable and disable the option.\n\n5.   Click OK to close the Folder Options window. The settings for Simple File Sharing are now updated; no computer reboot is required.

Hey Pal,\n\nTo use the windows file sharing, you should just share one folder! \nbut if you have problem, try to check your connectivity use PING command, after you got the result try to check firewall configuration!\nit should work after you check these things.\n\nCiao,

You can share the internet connection between both computers by using a router.\n\nThese updates are for internet protection. The files are useless for the other computer.

The program is legal However file sharing is not. So if you get limewire turn the file sharing off in the tools section.

Use "File Share Pro"...it allows you and whomever to trade files no matter the size..it works very well actually.

Before I start, all file sharing programs themselves are legal. It's how you use them that make your activities legal or illegal. If you download copyrighted works then what you are doing is illegal. However there are many good uses of file-sharing. Some programs other than Limewire are Frostwire, Shareaza, and any BitTorrent clients (Azureus).

1. Move the desired file to the 'shared documents' folder.\n\nor\n\n2. Right-click your hard drive and click "sharing and security". A screen will pop up. If you get a message about "understanding the risk", just click "here"where it tells  you.\n\nUnder the "sharing" tab, check the box that says "share this folder" and click "ok".\n\nShould work. Hope this helps.

Its possible if the content was made by you and you give permission to share it, or what you are sharing is free in the first place, for example linux programs :)

Only if you specificly allow them to.  If you turn on file sharing for a folder and allow everyone access to it, anyone on your local network can upload you a file. \n\nIf you install an FTP program, and forward all the points then they can send you files.\n\nAlthough, if you are asking if people can just randomly send you files without you wanting them to then NO.\n\nYou could also use AIM or IRC to recieve files although it may be slow.

It all depends. Some P2P programs contain viruses and spyware in the program. Always research the reputation of a file sharing app before downloading and installing it.\n\nThe files on a P2P network can be riddled with viruses and spyware. Always scan a file with a virus scanner after downloading it and before opening it.\n\nBasically, use virus and spyware scanners when downloading from file sharing networks. There is always danger.

if you mean C: on the same PC, you cannot map local drives and use them as shortcuts to drives on the same machine. You can create a *share* for a local drive to which other users can attach. You can, however, create a desktop shortcut (and give it any name you like) for your own use on your PC.

bobvatch is right, but that will only copy the user's setting and files. You can't copy their programs. Any software will need to be re-installed.

It's not possible unless both computers are networked.\n\nBetter copy it on a floppy or CD. Else upload it to the internet from the source PC and download it into your PC.
