I would like to configure Windows Live Messenger Version 8.0 to share files
through a shared folder. However, the sharing folders tab has a message that
says "Your computer does not support Sharing Folders"
I installed Messenger as the Administrator.
Are there any ideas why this feature cannot be enabled
I am running XP2 and have installed all the service packs and updates

Greetings,

You will need to convert the file system on your disk to NTFS. You can do so by following
the instructions here:
