?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

hmmm?
Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Network share has no permission in Win10, but has in Win7

Hi,

I recently changed my work computer from a Win7 to a Win10 computer. All our network shares are kept on one old Win2K3 server (I know old, but I'm not in charge of upgrading that).

From my Win10 computer I cannot access two network shares out of several needed. The error says that I don't have any permissions. At the same time I can access them from my Win7 computer.

I checked a few suggestions from google (turn on network discovery, file sharing - on, pasword protected sharing, ...) no luck. Most of the suggestions found are for a scenario where I couldn't access any network shares. But this is not the case. Only two are giving me trouble. Even the way permission is granted is the same for all shares - a Security Group in our AD. I also tried changing AllowInsecureGuestAuth in the registry - nothing.

It was fine till some updates got installed. I've uninstalled them (except KB3211320, which cannot be uninstalled) of them and it worked for a while. Till the next updates (which were only for MS Office and not for Windows).

Any ideas?

 

File sharing over network not working again

Hi Jose Perera,

Welcome to Microsoft community.

According to your description, you were unable to access network-shared folders.

Here is my idea:

1. I recommend you check your network sharing settings first by following these steps: Go to Control Panel > Change View to "Categories" > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced Sharing Settings > Make sure the options on this page are turned on.
   
2. If the settings are normal, I suggest you test if the problem occurs with new files. （ I suggest you place the files on a non-system disk)
   
3. I also suggest you restart related services by following the steps: Press "Windows+R" on the keyboard > Type: services.msc > Find "File History Service", "File Discovery Provider Host" and "File Discovery Resource Publication" services respectively, right-click and select "Properties" > Set the "Startup Type" to "Automatic", and click the "Start" button to start this service, click "OK" to complete the settings.
   
4. If the above methods do not help you you can try to reset access rights according to the following steps:
   
   Right-click on the folder you want to share > More Options > Properties > Security > Edit > Add > Advanced > Find Now > Select everyone in the search results > OK > "Everyone" will appear under the Combined User Name,select the permissions you want to allow in "Everyone", such as read, rewrite, read and write, etc. Generally, you can choose full control > OK > See that "Everyone" is already in the portfolio username in "Security" > Click "Sharing" > Advanced Sharing > Click "Permissions", select "Everyone" > Set permissions > Click "OK" in sequence.
   

Please feel free to tell me progress.
