    Access shared folder works for one user only


    I have 2 desktop computers, both running Windows 10.
    PC1 has a shared folder (shared to "Everyone").
    PC2 has 2 users.
    Logging in as userA I can access the shared folder on PC1. But as userB I cannot.
    Both users have the same user groups: Administrators and HomeUsers.
    I have tried to set another user, but it didn't work too.
    It seems userA is the lucky one forever *Huh.
    Please, help me! I'm desperate... *Tongue No, just kidding...
    (Sorry for my bad english. I actually don't speak it.)

    :)

  2. File sharing not working on network

    I have 8 computers connected to a network through a server (Windows Server 2012 R2).

    I am trying to share files with a specific computer user only. File sharing is enabled. (It works on a folder that I share with everyone).

    I have shared the file, removed the user everyone, and added the user that I wish to share with. Permissions are to share the folder with this user only. The folder is visible over the network however all users, including the ones with permission are told
    they do not have access to the resource. This is ok for 7 of the 8 users, but the 8th one needs access to this folder. What am I missing here.

    Windows 10 multiple Users shortcuts

    Glad that worked for you, the Public Folder is now the preferred method of sharing files between users . . .

    One thing, the folder you created on David's Desktop, did you share that folder and add Ben to the users that could access that folder - might be worth a look!

    Right click the folder on the desktop, choose Properties

    On the Sharing Tab, click 'Share'

    Then add Ben to the list of users that can access that folder
