How do I activate Bonjour for Windows XP?

When I go to my settings and I try to turn on sharing, nothing appears except "The Bonjour service has been disabled. Bonjour is required to share music with others. Please re-enable the service to use this feature." How do I do this on a Windows XP?

In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".

Expand "Services & Applications".

Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)

Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".

In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Automatic":

... and click OK.


Restart the PC and try opening iTunes again. Does it open without the Bonjour message this time?
