Sharing Folders on Network

Hello,
I want to share folders on the network. One folder is the Documents folder.
I go through the motion of sharing it and it shows that it is shared.
However, not all folders in Documents are shared. Do I have to go through
the process for each subfolder?

thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill, one would hope you do not need to go through the process for
each subfolder. What flavor of vista are you working with?

Have you checked the folder permissions on the unshared folders?
