 Ther is a problem when attempting to share the root directory on the 
Windows95 PC/Workstation,  however make a sub-directory and put all the files 
you want to share out in sub-directories beneath it.  This will effectively 
isolate the operating system from the "Share Folder".  Windows for WorkGroups 
doesn't have this problem.  Good luck.
