Windows 10: Wanting to Share Win 10 Laptop folder with XP

XP can see my win10 machine fine, but just not the laptop. So I have to copy first XP to Win10 then Win10 to laptop.
It's a real pain! Is there any way I can get to the laptop directly please.

File sharing between Win 10 and XP

I have the Win 10 computer getting into the folders on the XP. Ironically, from one Win 10 computer, I cannot get into the folders on the other Win 10 computer. The folders show on the C drive, but I get "Windows cannot access...." if I try to open a folder.
Homegroups have been setup on both machines. The C drives are shared on both machines.

Preserving credentials when sharing folder under Win 10 for Win XP.


I would like to share a folder under Windows 10 Professional and access it under venerable Windows XP Home.
I have no problems with sharing protected by passoword, but after any shut down/restart of Win XP it looses this credentials.
How could I store this credentials permanently?

A more detailed description of my configuration:

• Machine with Windows 10 Pro is called S. This machine has a folder F to be shared. The user and password are respectively: US & PS.
• Machine with Windows XP Home is called K and similary user & password are: UK & PK. I cannot change the operating system to any newer one.
• In the physical network there're many other nodes, but there're not mine and I must protect the access to folder F agaist them.
• I can share this folder F in such manner that accessing it on host K requires enetering username US and password PS. It works fine, but after any shut down/restart I must manually enter these credentials once again.
• I would like to know how to store this credentials permanently that even after reboot and without any manual activity this resource F would be accessible from K.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
