Windows Vista -> Control Panel, Network -> File and Printer Sharing

This interface is of more use on home machines or workgroup configurations, normally in a domain, all files and printers would be shared on the servers.

Orientation (See in Address Bar Below):
Control Panel

File and Printer Sharing

This interface neatly separates sharing printers from sharing files and folders.

What struck me with this run of the mill configuration menu was how many other areas you could reach from this interface.

Note the familiar folder sharing icon in the screen shot below.  Incidentally, this picture is a thumbnail of an even bigger picture.

TrainSignal - Recommended Vista Training VideosTrain Signal has just released their New Windows Vista Training Course.  As an MCT trainer, I am a huge advocate of Train Signal’s products.  What impresses is me is that they demonstrate everything that they teach and they stay away from traditional 'lecture-style' training.  If you are looking for a complete DETAILED coverage of Windows Vista, then I highly recommend that you give this course a try.  I have reviewed their 18 hours of videos myself, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
