JSI Tip 7055. When you try to access a shared folder on a Windows 2000 Server, you receive 'Error: access is denied'?

03. Press New Group on the Action menu.

04. Type a new group name into Group name and a description into Description.

05. Press Add.

06. Type Everyone into the Enter the object names to select box and press OK.

07. Press Create.

08. Press Close.

09. On the computer that hosts the share, use Windows Explorer to right-click the shared folder and press Sharing.

10. On the Sharing tab, press Permissions.

11. Press Add.

12. Select the new group in the Select Users, Computers, or Groups list and press Add.
