Win 7 sharing question
I realize this is a Vista group, but I can't seem to locate any MS Win7
group with my NG reader (TB). On my Win7 machine (Win7 Home Premium)I have marked several folders as being shared, and they remain shared at all times, but there is absolutely NO indication of the folder being shared when viewed in Explorer on that computer. In previous versions of the OS there has been the 'palm-up hand" and the little 'whatever it is' in Vista but nothing in Win7. Is it something I have to turn on somewhere, or is it just that Win7 provides no visual indication of sharing on a folder? Questor |

Win 7 sharing question
Found my own answer he
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...1-a5a06c2a79c6 I definitely agree with the thread - it was a very backwards move by MS to remove the 'shared' icon. The whole thread makes for very interesting reading. Questor --- I realize this is a Vista group, but I can't seem to locate any MS Win7 group with my NG reader (TB).

Win 7 sharing question
I'm using the NNTP Bridge, which works pretty good. It allows me to read &
post to the MSFT forums with Windows Live Mail. But I don't know it will continue to work in the future. http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums -- Dave N. MS-MVP (Mail) Windows 7 Ultimate http://download.live.com/wlmail "Questor" wrote in message ... I gathered that from the message from NNTP @ MS here in this NG. Darn shame. I purely do NOT like web interfaces to anything. Questor |

Win 7 sharing question
Hi
Win 7 when configured on peer-to-peer Network, Win 7 has three types of Sharing configurations. Home Network = Works only between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration makes it very easy to Entry Level Users to start Network sharing. Work Network = Basically similar to the previous methods of sharing that let you control what, how, and to whom folders would be shared with. Public Sharing = Public Network (like Internet cafe) to reduce security risks. The Work Network is the one that most of us are going (and need) to use. Win 7 Work Network's Sharing settings are in principle similar to Vista's configuration, some menus locations in Win 7 might be in different place, and look a little different, but it should not be a problem to adapt. Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Win 7 - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...ons-of-Windows Win7 Work Network with a little visual help), ,http://www.onecomputerguy.com/window...s7_sharing.htm Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 When finished with the setting of the system it is advisable to Reboot all the hardware including Router and all computers involved.
