# Starting the Use of Neighborhood Desks

Procedure
1.
Open [Neighbor's Desk] - [My Desk] in the Folder area.
Note
If [Neighbor's Desk] is not found in the Folder area, start the use of Neighborhood Desks, referring to "Stopping/Restarting the Use of Neighborhood Desks".
2.
Enter the My Desk name in the [My Desk Settings] dialog box.
Using this name, My Desk (Workspace) is shared with other users on the same subnetwork.
3.
Click [OK].
The [Windows Security Alert] dialog box appears.
4.
Check that the program name is set to "DocuWorks Desk EXE", then click [Allow access].
This step is required to set a Neighborhood Desk communication as an exception of Windows firewall.
A communication starts between Neighborhood Desks on the same subnetwork.
Note
If you click [Block] in the [Windows Security Alert] dialog box, display the Windows firewall setting from Control Panel, then set "DocuWorks Desk" to an exception; you can establish a Neighborhood Desk communication.
