## What is Resource on a Network?

Any files, applications, or devices on a network that users need access to. Examples of network resources include the following:

- Shared folders and volumes:
  Contain files that users need to access.

- Shared printers:
  Allow many users to print to a single print device. You can control access to the printer by using print permissions and by setting priorities and times for accessing printers.

- Applications:
  Allow users to access back-end applications (such as databases) using front-end clients. These applications can be standard .exe executables or scripted Web server applications such as those developed using Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.

- Web servers:
  Allow HTML-based documents and applications to be shared and accessed from any platform by using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
