Hi, I am wanting to share files on my iMac G5 to Windows computers. Anyway, I have Windows file sharing enabled. How can I make it that only one folder is shared. I just want to have a folder named 'Shared' to be accessable, not the whole hard drive. Thanks in advance, Matt-

    Well, the easiest way to access/share just one folder in Mac OS X

    is to log in as "guest". If you log in as "guest" the "Public" folder

    (which resides in your Home folder) will be shared.



    By default Mac OS X does not provide a feature like

    "share this folder", that you're probably used to use

    with "Windows".



    On the other hand this piece of software might be of interest.
