How to Deny "ONLY user1 on PC1" access to shared drive C (or specific subfolders) on networked PC2 ?

2016Sep07 (question by )

Hi Community,

This is user . My question is the topic shown on this discussion; which I explain

in more detail below.

My situation is very simple, but I don't know WHAT TO CLICK in Windows Explorer to:

permit different user-access to drives (or different subfolders)

shared by users on 2 Windows networked PC's -- PC1 and PC2.

PC1 is Windows Vista and PC2 is Windows 10.

Let me quickly explain: In general, PC1 and PC2 are on my HomeGroup private network;

and it's generally OK for ALL users from both PC's (PC1 and PC2)

to access all folders on drive C of both PC's; EXCEPT,

if I want to DENY USER1 (on PC1) access to drive C (or just 1 folder, Folder2, and all of it's sub-folders on that drive) on PC2,

then I don't know WHAT TO CLICK in Windows Explorer to accomplish that DENY of access.

My problem is: Whenever I go to PC2, I can't seem to find User1 from PC1, to DENY access for Folder2 on PC2.

So then, when User1 (on PC1) tries to access Folder2 on PC2, they still have access -- along with everyone else.

Everyone else is fine with me; it's just that I want to DENY access ONLY by User1 on PC1 to Folder2 on PC2.

Who can answer that; what is the clicking process to accomplish the preceding?

 

Using VPN to access network drives

• Open a Command Prompt on PC1 (cmd.exe).
• Use the command echo %ComputerName% to find out its actual name. Let's assume it is PC1.
• Same on PC2. Let's assume its name is PC2.
• On PC1 you type this command: ping PC2
• On PC2 you type this command: ping PC1

If you are unfamiliar with these commands then I recommend you get a networking expert to help you. Setting up a Virtual Private Network is not trivial.

 

Ghost homegroup can't be deleted

I forgot to say that when the other PC is shut down the homegroup that this one says it has disappears. So the situation seems to be:

1. PC1 created a homegroup.

2. PC2 joined PC1's homegroup.

3. PC1's homegroup disappeared.

4. PC1 is somehow detecting the ghost of the homegroup that PC2 joined.

Confused? Join the club! I am able to create a new homegroup on PC1, but not able to get PC2 to join it.
