All my Shared folders are gone.

I am using Window XP Home.

I've just looked in my "Computer Management Console" and all my "Shared
Folders" are gone. It is probably because I have been using the "Netork
Setup Wizard", but darn if I know what it does. I certainly don't know how
to avoid a similar problem in the future. Can somebody please explain/help?

Re: All my Shared folders are gone.

Don,

Did you accidentally choose the option "Turn off file and printer sharing" in the Network Setup Wizard screen?

Yes, I did turn it off. But it wasn't a mistake. I'm affraid that I don't
yet know what does what.
