You are the desktop administrator for your company’s sales department. Each Windows computer in the sales department runs Windows XP Professional and a third-party Internet browser. Carmen is a user in the sales department. Carmen’s computer has a single hard disk with two partitions, named drive C and drive G. Both partitions are formatted as FAT32. Carmen stores her data on drive G. A folder named Files1 on drive G is shared as Files1. Users in the sales department have permissions to save documents in the Files1 shared folder. Roger is the manager of the sales department. He wants to be able to read the documents that are in the Files1 shared folder from his UNIX client computer. Carmen reports that users of the Windows XP Professional computers are able to successfully save files in the Files1 shared folder.
