Windows 7

Hi guys,

Running Windows 7 starter SP1.

When I add a network share, (eg. right click folder properties advanced sharing create new). Windows deletes the shared folder properties on next reboot or system crash, this is not ideal as its where all my movies and tv are hosted for the pi. It is an external drive i'm sharing, however it always gets assigned the same drive letter.

It does this everytime.... Am I missing something obvious ?

Any suggestions welcomed, thanks in advance, andrew

Missing something obvious like Starter is a properly crippled version of Win7?
