| 846838 | 2010-01-07 22:29:00 | In Win7 I have my public folders set up for non password sharing yet on my XP & Vista machines I still have to log into my win7 machine to view the public folders using my win7 user name and password. I am obviously missing something but can't for the life of me work out what. :help: Any tips gratefully accepted as it's a pain. :thanks:badpc: |

| 846839 | 2010-01-07 22:46:00 | Bit puzzling, I agree. At the command prompt, run ' net user guest' and check whether the guest account has Active as 'Yes'. If not, run 'net user guest:yes' to activate it. |

| 846841 | 2010-01-07 23:00:00 | you can only set up a homegroup with other windows 7 computers. to file share with vista and xp computers just create a network between those computers to share items in the shared documents folder. |

| 846843 | 2010-01-07 23:56:00 | Double check your settings in W7 From control panel -Network and sharing -Change advanced sharing - then compare to these settings (www.imagef1.net.nz) esp the ones highlighted. All the PC here can access the windows 7 Public shared folders, ( XP, Vista, Ubuntu, W7 ) | wainuitech (129) | ||
