    "Public" folders content visibility for other users?


    In Windows 7 every user inherited content of "Public" user folders such as Images/Music/Video.

    Now I don't see "Public" content in my user folders anymore. What could be done to unlock this functionality?

    :)

    Public Folders, windows 10

    Just being on the homegroup doesn't mean you see the other PCs Public folders on yours. There is no automatic merging of the content of the different PCs.

    As you say, you can browse to it via the network. This is the normal way to access the content of other PCs on your network.

    " Waiting for approval " until when !????

    It means that it's waiting for approval from your operator and it has nothing to do with Nokia.

    You could call your operator and ask about this approval, someone in technical service may know that how long it takes to approve the newest firmware. (For some reason, every operator has to approve the firmware updates and only after that their clients
    can do the update)

    Same thing as before. Make sure that they are shared.

    Public folders are under C:\Users\Public.

    Some of their content I see reflected in my folders, other content not so. Specifically Public\Desktop shows on my Desktop.
