Hi there!

If you want to share files, you must have both computers linked to the internet modem you are currently on. Both computers including where the original file/folder must be turned on.Both computers must be on the local area network (the same internet modem).

1.Open up the folder/file and click on the file/folder you want to share.

2.Drag it into the shared documents folder.

3.You should be able to access it on the other computer in the shared documents in my computer.

I hope this was useful, if you have any problems please send a private message to me, drkzin.

How do you change a file extension in Windows XP?

If you don't see your extensions, this is because by default XP hides them (stupid if you ask me). In Windows Explorer (not IE) go to Tools|Folder Options... and in the "View" tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types." Then you can change it just by renaming the file.
