    Ever since forced migration from XP to Vista/7, I've solved all windows file sharing related problems with a simple and elegant solution - USB flash drive. It works! :)
    I just got completely fedup with totally broken "permissions" bullish, because it clearly shows that only Microsoft has permission to access your files, you are just a squatter on their property...

    Thank you Eric! Great instructional video. Clear, step-by-step and excellent pace! I have two questions please! 1) is there a difference if the host computer with the shared drive is Win7 and the connecting computer is Win10? 2) can you please tell me what software/products you used to do the video screen capture? The video quality is excellent! I am working on some instructional videos, but I don't know what software to use for screen capture. Thank you!

      If the computer you are using to access the files has a different user ID and password, you'll need to use the user ID and password from the computer that is actually housing the files. Hope this helps!

    Great video thanks. I have an issue when I right click the folder I have setup to share to give it permissions, I click everyone,Add,read and write, then when I click save, I don't get the next pop up showing the name of the network path.
    Any ideas would be most gratefully received.

  • @Aedonatwar
    @Aedonatwar 9 лет назад

    Hi Eric, great video!
    I enjoyed your explanation on network mapping. I'll be trying it out once I get my network primed the way I need, and I know what each computer needs more specifically from it.
    I was wondering if I can get help with a more demanding solution for network sharing then was offered here.
    I have 5 pc's in the house: my brother's, parent's(x2) and mine(x2). I have a serving Desktop Pc(Os/win7pro) with everyone sharing "Read" Access to 12 folders on it. Now my goal ,in addition to "Everyone" is to share these same 12 folders in "Full Control" for my laptop only (Os/Win7Pro). Any leads, recommendations or solutions would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

I tried dragging the program icon to a shared file and it looks like it worked. Where did I go wrong?

    doubting ill get a reply, but for some odd reason, it wont let me change network and sharing. it says "network discovery and file sharing are turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. click to change..." and i click it but it says the same thing. this is on my desk top. i run a recording studio, but i travel with my computer with recordings alot. i need some of these audio files off of my computer so i can do some editing on my desktop. idk whats going on. im on Wireless on my laptop, and ethernet from my desktop. idk if that affects anything

    • @moneyguyeric9331
      @moneyguyeric9331  10 лет назад

      Boy, lets see if I can help... Click the windows logo (start button) and select control panel. In the upper right click on "view by" and select "small icons." From there, click on network and sharing center. On the left, click on change advanced settings. Click the arrow for home or work. The first 2 options should be network discovery and turn on file and printer sharing. Make sure both of those are on. Let me know if that helps. Thanks for watching!

You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions."
    Well as the owner of both computers, I would be the "Administrator", So I contacted myself and asked if I had access permissions, and I told myself that I have no clue how to set up said permissions.
