Sharing Media on Your Network


With so many households having more than one computer or more than one user on a computer, media collections can become scattered and inaccessible. By sharing your media collections among users and across your network, you can play your music, your videos, or whatever other media you want on one computer, regardless of where the media are stored.

Set Up Sharing

With Windows Media Player running, click the Library down arrow, and choose Media Sharing from the drop-down menu to display the Media Sharing dialog box.

Select the items you want to share.

Click OK, and confirm that you want to share the media.

Specify with whom you want to share the media, and click Allow or Deny. Repeat for any other devicesanother computer, an Xbox 360 console, or any other compatible extender on your network.

Click Settings to set the defaults for the names used to identify the shared media source and the types of media being shared.

If you want to make custom settings of types of shared media, select the device, and then click Customize.

Tip

To share media, all the computers must be running Windows Vista and must have Media Player set up.
