Hi, I have a user who has Win NT workstation and I was trying to create a folder for her so that she can share it with others. But when I right-clicked on the folder there was no sharing tab. What can I do? Do i need to log on as an admin to make it work? Please help :)

Yes, you do need to be logged in as an admin before you can get the use of sharing, also if you make a user a member of the PowerUser's group, they would then have this ability as well.

The other thing you want to check is that the server service is running in the services applet in the control panel...if it is not and you check the event viewer and you see a description for the server service not starting due to lack of storage....apply the latest service pack and then the sharing option will be there. Let me know if this works for you..
