    User Problems when trying to share


    I've followed your tutorial on sharing a folder C:\stuff in my \\comp1 and my laptop, \\comp2 can see the icons of the shared folder \\comp1\stuff under network/comp1

    However when I try to look at the contents of \\comp1\stuff I am told I do not have the correct permissions

    "Windows cannot access \\comp1\stuff...you do not have permission to access \\comp1\stuff

    In both PCs I am an administrator,
    in both PCs I am John Smith,
    and in both PCs I have the same microsoft email id : L: john.smith@outlook.com

    I am the same person. it asks for a name and a pw
    I give it "john" or "john smith" or "comp1\john" or "\\comp1\John smith"
    and the network pw but nothing happens

    What's going on here? I was able to do it with XP.

    :)

  2. 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!

    Cannot access shared network drive


    Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


    If this helps.
    step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
    step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
    step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
    step 3a remove Everyone from list
    step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
    step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

    User Problems when trying to share

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
