I was wondering how to share folders from surface to pc. I know you can use homegroup but I just like setting the folders I want. As well I hated when I went on my desktop and under network the surface is there but you can not gain access. So this trick will let you.. It opens up the "share" tab under properties on the folders when right clicking. Here ya go.
Quick to enable file sharing on Windows 8 RT (Surface):
1. Open the desktop mode
2. Open Explorer
3. Right click on "Computer" and choose "Manage"
4. Expand "Services and Applications"
5. Select "Services"
6. Find the "Server" service and double click it to open.
7. Change the Startup type to "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)
8. Click "OK"
9. Right click on the Server service and choose "Start"
You can then make shares as if on a normal Windows 8 PC. This also seems to give Libraries the option to share as well.
thanks for sharing

I have the above program FLVPlayer.exe with some *.flv files.
*.flv files now is defaulted to open with windows media player in the properties.
I need to change the default program to open *.flv to FLVPlayer.exe. However this program is not listed in the Default Program List. I have been trying for the past 5 hours how to get this done.
When trying to set default program to run *.flv, since FLVPlayer.exe is not inside the Default Program list, I go manually browse to the FLVPlayer location. But when I selected the file from this location, Windows does not seems to pick it up.
I need to know what is the trick to add any .exe program into Default Program list.
Can anyone help me out..
Thanks.
you need to tap and hold on the .exe file and select copy
then go to windows/startmenu/programs
and the click on the right soft key (should say EDIT)
then tap paste shortcut
then tap and hold the shortcut and tap rename then rename to desired name then you should now see it listed alphabtically i the start > programs path
Hi JayJay,
Thanks for your quick reply. I already have the file in my Start > Program Path.
What I am not able to do is to set *.flv file to automatically open up with Flvplayer. Fyi, I am using Windows Vista and how i am doing it is via
Control Panel>Default Program > Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
My problem is i am not able to get the FLVplayer.exe into the Default Program list from which I can select the .exe for file association.
When I go to Control Panel> Default Program > Set Default Program, Vista will do search, but somehow it cannot find the .exe .
I tried following your suggestion to drop the .exe into control panel > Default program, but when i do OPEN the folder, I cannot paste the .exe in.
Appreciate if you have any more suggestion.
it may be program wont allow thid, maybe if you cinract the reator theg can help
Adobe Media Player
Hi
I had Adobe's media player installed and that played FLV files pretty well. It's on their website.

It's should just be folder options.. "same was an issue with Vista users so imagine same tweak"
Show Hidden Folders & Untick hide protected Operating System Files should do it

Yes it won't with just show hidden folders, have to see protected file system
If you cannot see the Windows folder on your computer then go to 'Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab' and select "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and also UNCHECK the box next to "Hide protected operating system files".
I'm sure the same is applicable for 7

wow,it worked.
that allows one to see the sd on pc as if a shared folder in network?
Yup. I've only tried this on windows 7 but the steps in XP would be similar.
Attach the drive via USB (probably using the disk drive mode in your USB connection settings) then right click the drive and choose share with --> advanced sharing. Click the advanced sharing button which probably will cause a popup asking administrator permission. Once that's done, the sharing dialogue pops up and you can check the box that says share this drive. Set permissions if necessary.
Now right click my computer, and do map network drive. Under the drive dropdown you should see your phone. In my case it defaulted to the "Z:" drive even though it's already got the "I:" drive letter. It shows up as \\MyPCName\i .
If you don't have it in the dropdown, try manually typing it in the box below using the format in the example above.
Yes there is... websharing file 1.6.1.apk created by nextapp.. you can find the lite version on market or pay for the pro one who can let you stream music from the network and stream video as well....
nice thanks!!

Skip the first 5 steps: just type "services.msc" into Start, and hit Enter.
You can also use the Shared Folders snap-in to Management Console (I can't remember the exact msc filename right now) to share folders beyond what the GUI permits.
