Yes, that is what I remember doing... and I decided to start over again. I drilled down from C: into the actual directory that includes Favorites (it has an asterisked-folder icon) and right-clicked it. This is how I've shared other folders with my laptop. Once that context menu is open, I get a two-tabbed panel with only the General tab and the Web Sharing tab (which relates to IIS and not sharing on the LAN)... yet in that same folder (my user profile's folder, that is) if I want to right-click the Cookies folder to share or any of the others, I get the four-tabbbed dialogue panel and it includes Sharing in addition to Web Sharing. Got any ideas? THanks for taking time to suggest a solution!
