Windows 10: Trouble Sharing Files Between Users on Same Windows 11 Home PC When Files Are in OneDrive

We have two users on on our Windows 11 Home Edition PC. Both users have Microsoft accounts with active access to OneDrive. We can share PC files between users when the files are shared outside of a OneDrive folder, such as in C:\Users\UserA\SharedDocuments. We do this by right-clicking, then using 'give access to' -> 'Specific people' and entering UserB's email address, and then changing the Permission Level to 'Read/Write'. Then UserB can log in to their account and edit the files in C:\Users\UserA\SharedDocuments.However, if we follow the same procedure for files in a OneDrive folder such

Easiest would be for one User to the send the file or folder to the other from OneDrive via email link, both users will be able to work on the file in it's folder. More here:

Batch File to list files from two seperat networks

Hello,

I work in a factory where multiple PCs are on seperate VLANs. I need to view contents of a directory from one VLAN called "Admin" and compare it with individual directories from multiple PCs on another VLAN called "Shop" ("Shop" is not part of the Domain)

I have created a VB script that will compare two txt files and report the diffences. So I am trying to create two text files from each VLAN using a batch file. The batch file will be ran from a PC with two network cards so it can see both VLANs.

I can easily create the list from the "Admin" network using:
dir /b \\Server\Share\ > Active.txt

The "Shop" list is different. It needs a username and password. All Shop PCs have the same user name and password but I'm not sure how to structure the script to create a list from multiple PCs using a user name and password.
If I open the folders from Windows and enter the credentials then a script like this will work:
dir /b \\PC_Name1\Share > Programs.txt
dir /b \\PC_Name2\Share >> Programs.txt

Using the command above without first opening the folder and entering the credentials gives this error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

Thanks in advance for any help.
