Set Up Sharing on Windows Media Player
To set up sharing on Windows Media Player, follow these steps:
Start Windows Media Player if it??™s not already running. For example, choose
Start | All Programs | Windows Media Player.
Move the mouse pointer over the Library button on the toolbar, click the
down-arrow button that appears on the bottom part of the button, and then
choose Media Sharing from the menu. Windows Media Player displays the
Media Sharing dialog box.
If you want Windows Media Player to automatically locate media libraries
that other computers running Windows Media Player are sharing, select the
Find Media That Others Are Sharing check box. Normally, you??™ll want to do
this.
If you want Windows Media Player to share your own media, select the
Share My Media check box.
Click the OK button, and then go through User Account Control for the
Windows Media Player Configuration feature. Windows Media Player displays
an expanded version of the Media Sharing dialog box, as shown next.

mark doesn??™t yet have a sharing setting applied to it.

the Allow button. Windows Media Player changes the exclamation-mark
icon for a checkmark icon and makes the Customize button available.
