    Sharing 1 folder data to 2 different users in one laptop


    Hello, I create a New user in my laptop because of some privacy. So there is lots of family functions photos and videos in my old user. How I can add or share only selected folders pic&vids in my new user so anyone can see all of these without login in my old user,

  2. Share folder

    > I don't know what you've tried so can't suggest anything else because you didn't report back results for all steps as requested.

    So, what I did:
    1. Enabled sharing for the folder, added Everyone user with Read only permissions

    2. Set network to private

    3. For private network enabled discovery and files sharing

    4. For all networks switched off password sharing

    5. As K0MB suggested and mentioned in several articles I updated services to the automatic startup.

    6. Rebooted.

    In that point when user click on my laptop icon in the Network, they get error that access is denied, but they can open folder if provide direct path. Specifically, they can't open \\my-laptop but can open \\my-laptop\shared.

    Then I switched to the tricks with registry.

  3. How do I make a folder on one laptop visible to another laptop?

    I re-read your first post. Here are the steps I've taken.

    1) One folder on the old laptop => Properties => Sharing => Advanced Sharing => Share this folder.

    2) Same folder => Properties => Security => all user names have full control. (My new laptop name is not listed). I don't see a way to add my new laptop name.

    3) Folder Explorer on my new laptop => Network --- lists my Win7 laptop --- does not list my old laptop.

  4. Sharing 1 folder data to 2 different users in one laptop

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
