How do you NOT share files?
Microsoft OneCare requires Vista's File and Printer sharing to be turned on to allow for automatic backup of computers in my circle. Unfortunately, if I turn File and Printer sharing on, my computer is laid bare to everyone on my network. XP would allow you to designate folders like "My Documents" as private, but Vista doesn't seem to have this function. Is there a way to enable File and Printer sharing but keep some directories private? Thanks! -- gspam1

Is there a way to enable File and Printer sharing but keep some directories private? Thanks! Hey Gspam! I use Live OneCare on a two PC circle. My PC is the host and only has printer sharing enabled. On my USB external attached to my PC, I have a directory that is shared with the other PC, so they can manually put their ZIP or whatever files in their folder for backup. None of my other folders, either on my USB external or main PC are "sharable", they are secure from anyone else in my circle. I don't use the Live OneCare as a backup utility. I use a third party program which I find to be superior and has password, encrypted protected images of my hard drive. I hope this helps. -- .Joe _[image: http://uswave.net/vistax64/joetmvx64.png] (\"http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=17621\")_ _*::Click_here_for_the_Vista_Forums::* (\"http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=17621\")_ _Geekbench_Sco_4050 (\"http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/42901\")_ _CPU-Z_Verified (\"http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=323179\")_

I have Vista Home Premium, and it doesn't allow you to turn on only Printer Sharing, just "File and Printer Sharing" What version of Vista are you running? Thanks! -- gspam1

In OneCare live advanced settings, there's a check box for "printer sharing", nothing about folders or files. And I'm using Home Premium SP1 32 bit. -- .Joe _[image: http://uswave.net/vistax64/joetmvx64.png] (\"http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=17621\")_ _*::Click_here_for_the_Vista_Forums::* (\"http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=17621\")_ _Geekbench_Sco_4050 (\"http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/42901\")_ _CPU-Z_Verified (\"http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=323179\")_
