Sharing Program Files in XP Home

Hi guys,
Is it possible to share the Program Files folder in XP Home? I need to share it across a network so other users can use a particular program on it. When I go to share that folder, the options are greyed out. Thanks.

Programs can't be shared, only files and folders.

you mean like your computer would act like a server for the other computers,
no you cannot do that with the system you have.
you will need a client/server system for that to work.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Problem averted. The program doesn't need to shared, just the database. So I guess I'm OK.
