If you have many pictures to share with others, you can publish them to the web. With the Web Publishing Wizard, you can copy an individual file or a folder of files from your computer to your own web site or a network location, such as a shared folder. When you publish your files to a web site, you can let others view your pictures and documents using their web browser. If you don't have a web site on which to publish your files, you can create a personal web site in MSN Groups. After you publish a file or folder to the web, Windows places a shortcut link to that web site in My Network Places on your computer. When you are connected to the Internet, you can access your published files from My Network Places and add or delete the files in the same way you would on any network.

MSN Groups is a service that allows you to create a personal web site to display pictures and documents, and to create an online community to share messages, create a photo album, hold chat sessions, manage a calendar (available for a fee), and add web pages to your site. You don't have to be an MSN member to use MSN Groups, but you do need to have a Microsoft .NET Passport. You can obtain a .NET Passport when you associate an existing e-mail address with a User Account using the .NET Passport Wizard, or you can sign up for a free Hotmail or MSN e-mail account during the setup process. | |
