Sharing the PowerChurch folder in Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Server 2003


This article is part of a series - Networking Instructions for PowerChurch Plus. If your server/host computer is not Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Server 2003 go back to the main article and click the appropriate link for Server Setup for your Windows version.

To share the PowerChurch folder, do the following:

  • Open My Computer.
  • Find Local Disk C and grouped under that, the "PowerChurch" folder. Note: Versions 8 and 8.5 weren't installed into a PowerChurch folder by default. They were installed directly to C:\PCPLUS8\ and C:\PCPLUS85\. Versions 9 and higher will all have a PowerChurch folder.
  • Click the right mouse button on the PowerChurch folder and choose Sharing and Security.
  • If Simple File Sharing is enabled (Windows XP only), check the option that reads "Allow network users to change my files".
  • Otherwise, choose "Share this folder" and click the Permissions button.
  • On the window that opens, choose or add individual network/domain users you want to share with, or choose Everyone from the list.
  • For Permissions, set Full Control to "Allow".

 

You are now ready to move on to set up the workstation. Return to the Networking Instructions for PowerChurch Plus article and click the appropriate link for your workstation's Windows version.
