Deb - The changes you make should be almost instantaneous. If it isn't, then you have a super slow network connection. And for the record, I don't think I've ever rebooted after making such a change. I can't imagine that my company would be happy if I rebooted the server everytime I adjusted a shared folder. Maybe (and I say that with a BIG maybe) that might be different with XP Home, but I doubt it.
Once you share a folder, by default you will also be sharing all of the folders within it. Of course, with some advanced knowledge you could tighten the permissions on these folders, but I wouldn't suggest doing that if you aren't sure what you are doing.

I understood it isn't instantaneous after this was mentioned. It's been hours and still not showing up even earlier when I wrote. >I think you may just not be giving it enough time for the contents of >the folders to appear maybe, sounds like you had/have it working. Yes, one folder is working - that's it. >lol, it's a matter of practise.

I've even tried adding sharing to a folder w/in a shared folder thinking I might have to share each folder or file I have put in a shared folder.
