    Windows 10 PC not finding Shared files in Internet Explorer


    I have two Windows 10 PC's I'll call A and B both on Windows version 1803. Both PC's can see one another when clicking "Network" in File Explorer (FE). I have shared folders on PC A with PC B using the share procedures in FE giving the shared folders read/write permissions. Clicking "Network" in FE on PC B lists "Users". Click "Users" and PC B lists "Default" and a couple other Default.x folder names. Clicking Default lists the typical user folders.

    None of the files I have shared with PC B from PC A show up. No error messages, Win 10 troubleshooters are of no help, on and on. I have spent hours trying everything I can find on the internet to resolve this issue with no success.


    I have the exact same issue on both machines. Naturally, I really need this repaired and would sincerely appreciate a working solution.


    Many Thanks.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
