**__Tutorial for File Sharing with Microsoft Windows for Performance Review workshop__** Required minor equipment is a computer with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Windows NT® 4.0 support file s. Your computer should be part of your workplace shared network. Pre-training: All individuals should have basic computer use knowledge in Microsoft Window s and Word. The ability to turn on a computer and navigate with a mouse and type on a keyboard with or without adapt at ion [including voice control] for individuals with disabilities. The web site that is most useful to create file sharing on a computer if you do not already have the ability to do so is to go to the Microsoft Download Center : [] This site will assist an employee at the company to create a shared file for document sharing with fellow employees and supervisory personnel. The purpose of the web site is to assist individuals who will be sharing a folder for the first time or someone who has forgotten how to share files can use this site as a reference to create a shared folder.

Step by step instructions to create a shared folder in Microsoft Windows is as follows: Step 1. Right click you mouse and a window will appear click on “new” on the menu options then under that click folder. Step 2. A new folder will appear which will give you an opportunity to name the new folder. Please name the folder: Performance Review Step 3. Click on the new folder named Performance Review. The three tabs in the new window are: General, Security and Customize. Click on the Security tab. Add your local users to the file. Keep in mind it is your performance review so you should limit access to your supervisor and perhaps mentor or colleague your will be asking help or comment regarding your goal setting and self-evaluation, etc. Each user you will give Permissions. In the permissions you will give “full control” to “modify” to “read” access to a variety of other options. Your supervisor must have the ability to modify the documents and add other documents thus their role should have “write” access. Perhaps your mentor should have only “read” access. Click on the related accesses then the okay button at the bottom of the window. In the advanced mode you can do other changes to the “children” users of the “parent” folder. Step 4. The employee user can now move the files with the goals and self evaluation into this new folder for sharing with your supervisor, mentor and others whom you would like comment in your organization.
