I need help with security and file sharing too...

Yes, you can start a new thread here in the Microsoft Operating Systems forum here and people will help you.
You should post what kind of help with security you need. As for file sharing, you can read something like this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/window...haring-share-users-system-folders-on-network/
Or if you want us to help you step by step, we can do that too:
Right click on Folder you want to share > Properties > Sharing TAB > Share... >
From drop down Menu select: Everyone >
Add > Everyone > [Next to Everyone] > Read/Write > Share > Done > Close
Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings > [scroll down] All Networks [scroll down] >
SELECT: Turn off password protected sharing > Save changes
If asked for a Network password even though one was not setup,
Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings > All Networks > Turn off password protected sharing > Save changes > Reboot
The fist part of your post unclear:
"the second time I open it id does not work" What does not work? When you say "disperses your desktop icons" - right click on Desktop > Sort by.
If you want to save Desktop icon placement, use this program:

It will help you save your icon positions on Desktop and Restore them with a simple right click.
I will look into your links soon.
Security is for work computers...small company..no one else knows anything.
I added google drive to the computer...it appears that it made a bunch of directories available on a share...many more than the one directory...???
We need to have 5-6 computers attached to one "company accounting source" it is on one users computer.
changing from win XP to Win 8...no one has any experience with win8.
