Non of my data is stored on C: but on another partition on the drive.

I have several User Accounts for different hobbies, etc.

I want to share a folder so it is viweable on the desktops of the User
Accounts, but I don't want to move the folder onto C: - I want it to
stay in it's location.

Is this possible? TIA.

Sharing is independent on the drive where your folders reside. Just open
Explorer, right-click the folder you wish to share, then click "Share".

All I can do, is right click, select "Sharing and Security...." and
under the "Sharing" tab do what I'm told to drage a folder to "Shared
Documents" folder.

But, that would put my folder on C:.

Just put a shortcut to the share in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop folder.
