Then use one of the copy options (don't use cut.) In fact, copy the folder itself, go to where you want your shared folder to be (somewhere easy to find such as directly in the Documents folder) & select paste. This way you won't lose any files & it'll be easy to find when adding it as a shared folder in LW.
Or copy & paste the folder onto your desktop & drag this folder to where you want it to be (such as dropping it into your Docs folder.)
