= Default The third step is to "Match the Shares =with Users," that is, say which users save files or read from which shares.
By default Actually accessing your HDA comes with the following shares preinstalled: pictures, music, movies, files and books, in addition to one share per user "home directory" and a printers and faxes directory. To add more shares, go to is the setup area in your HDAlast step.
