Drag and Drop Question
You work for a small company that uses Windows 8.1 computers. The computers are joined to a
homegroup. You want to share an existing folder named Research. It is located in the Documents
folder. You need to give users the ability to change the files in this folder. Which three actions
should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of
actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Explanation:
Box 1: Right-click on the Research folder. Select the folder.
Box 2: Share it with the home group. Finally we need to change the level of access, which by default
is view.
Box 3: Under Share With, choose HomeGroup (View and edit).
Incorrect Answers:
* Not read/write
There is no option read/write for Homegroup. The two options are view and view and edit.
Note:
To share individual files or folders:
– Open File Explorer by typing file explorer in the search box in the taskbar, and then selecting File
Explorer.
– Select the item, and then select the Share tab.
– Choose an option in the Share with group. There are different Share with options depending on
whether your PC is connected to a network and what kind of network it is. To share items with a
particular person, choose that person’s account. To share with all the members of your homegroup,
choose one of the Homegroup options.(Select libraries to share with all the members of your
homegroup by opening HomeGroup.)To prevent a file or folder from being shared with anyone,
select the Share tab, and then select Stop sharing. To change the level of access to a file or folder,
select the Share tab, and then select either Homegroup (view) or Homegroup (view and edit).If you
need to share a location such as a drive or system folder, select the Advanced sharing option.

I disagree with this one. In my opinion one should first enable sharing of the Documents folder. By default it will share it as read-only (as it states in the wizard).
Next, right-click the Research folder. In the menu there will be an option called Share With, which will roll out to HomeGroup (view and edit).
