I know in Windows 7 the setting is pretty much the same as in XP.

Any idea of how to do it in Vist. Folder Options doesn't have an Advanced Button or Tab. Just, General, View and Search and cannot see anything similar.

In Windows XP open an explorer window and select 'Folder options' on the 'Tools' menu. Then select the 'View' tab and scroll down to the bottom of the list in the 'Advanced Settings' area. There you will find the 'Use simple file sharing (Recommended)' option. Clear the check box, and then reboot.
