The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

If you stop sharing the NetFax folder in Windows Explorer, the Modem tab in Fax properties in the Mail And Fax tool in Control Panel continues to show the Fax as being shared. However, the NetFax folder is no longer accessible from the network and the fax modem is no longer shared.

CAUSE

The NetFax folder is created to allow others to use the fax modem across the network. If it is not shared, the fax modem is not available across the network.

RESOLUTION

To stop sharing the NetFax folder, follow these steps:

In Control Panel, double-click Mail And Fax.
Click Microsoft Fax, and then click Properties.
On the Modem tab, click the "Let other people on the network use my modem to send faxes" check box to clear it.

NOTE: Clicking the Properties button on the Modem tab and then clicking Cancel causes the NetFax folder to be shared again.
