Apologies, my previous response got garbled.
By "general access" I meant that anyone should have access to my web-files -
they would not require any sort of password or code.
I would not like anyone to have access to configure the server
or to create files on my computer.
I only want to offer the ability to see my web-pages.

Sorry, I just meant my computer attached to the internet.
(It acually has a static IP address.)
I wasn't referring to my user account, or any kind of short cut.
I used the word "desktop" simply because I was on a laptop (on a train)
at the time - which was also the reason for the garbled message.
