    I have a wireless router in the house and have two laptops. On one computer which has a movie, I set that file as share under all circumstances, and go to my other laptop. I look everywhere and cannot find it. Can someone help by telling me how to share files between wireless laptops?

    You need to turn File & Printer Sharing ON.

    Once on you can then select the files you want to share.

    Make sure both pc are in the same work group, just make things easier. Then add a network place and locate your pc that is sharing files. Once the connection has been made, you can access the file and start the movie.
