Just upgraded to Leopard. I have been able to share screens b/w me (my iMac), my wife (macbook) and my macbook pro.

How do I allow my wife to view my screen but not to be able to control it (if that's possible)?

Also, I have our printer shared but can't figure out how to enable her to see the external hard drive on my iMac? I do have it set to a shared folder... (when I "get info")... but it's not showing up.

Fairly new to macs so apologies for the ignorance

Thanks!

I don't think you can do the see but not control with iChat's screen sharing, I haven't seen any prefs on that, or an option on to allow just seeing.
