To do this, you must have administrative rights.
To share these files so that you can see them:
- Click the Windows Icon, and go into the "Network and Sharing Center" in the Control Panel, or it's labeled "Network" if it's on the start menu.
- In "Sharing and Discovey" section, you'll notice "Media Sharing" at the bottom, click the arrow just to the right of that icon.
- Click "Change" and turn on you're Xbox 360.
- It should show the Xbox 360 on the network, if it does not, check your cable and router setup.
- When you do see it, make sure to allow it to be shared to.
- When it's been configured, go into Windows Media Player 11.
- Click under "Library" and click "Add to Library."
- Add all your audio/pictures/videos into your library, and check it out on your Xbox 360!
Note: You'll have to configure your Windows Media Center seperatly, almost in the same fashion.
