My way of saying you did fine & don't need any excuses
Well, Since I have read some google items that indicate that file
sharing 'tween W7 and XP is flaky at best, I should not be surprised
that when I brought up my machines this morning, what worked
yesterday, fail today. I cannot access W7 content from XP machines -
and yes, all are logged on as same user (me) with same password.
Permissions are still 'everyone'.
In any case, I am going to do file/folder transfers/changes with my
trusty thumb drives. At least they I know they work when I plug 'em
in.
Thanks for all your helps - I just wanted to express my disappointment
for what it's worth.
Maybe things will improve in Taiwan.

I have been totally frustrated at trying to make file sharing work. I
now copy files to a flash drive and use that to transfer to the other
computer. Security is necessary, but has made the system unusable. It
seems like overkill for a home network.

I'll bet that if you go back and right click on your drive (in my computer)
and once again select the Security tab, then click on "Advanced" once that
box opens you will find a line that says "deny" everyone. If you highlight
that line and then click "change permissions" and then click on the "remove"
you should be able to access your Windows 7 computer from your XP.
I'm an oldie too, but when the computer I have paid for tells me that I
don't have permission to access MY FILES on MY OWN machine, I tend to get a
little testy. Once I get past the urge to throw it over the backyard fence,
I fight with it until I get my way

I have Windows XP, Vista, and 7 computers all happily sharing files on
my home network. It's been working reliably for years.
I don't know why yours isn't working.

Same here. I thought it was quite straightforward, but there's no
denying that some people (or some systems) seem to have trouble with
it.

I seem to recall there being some hoop I had to jump through, having to
do with a the way Windows encrypts passwords that changed between XP
and Vista. I may have had to make a change in the registry to fix that.
I can't recall the exact details, and I can't find anything about it on
the web right now. Maybe it was a bad dream?

I'm not sure. I didn't have to do anything like that.

Oh dear. That's all I needed to hear. Thumb drive still seems a
better idea, albeit should not be necessary. Progress is wunnerful.

Wei,
Been watching this thread for a couple days. Have you ever lived in the
US, Canada or Australia?? Your command of English seems quite
remarkable for a non-native.

I'm not Mellowed, but I studied Mandarin before visiting Chine eleven
years ago. I didn't learn a lot, and I've forgotten almost all I
learned. But one thing I do remember is what Xie Xie means.

No, I didn't study in any school. My wife and I had a young woman who
was born in China, but lived in our town, come to our home once a week
for a one-hour lesson. We did this for about three months, so we had a
total of only about 17 hours instruction.
We were on a tour in China, and actually got to use very little of the
Chinese we had learned while there. Then, getting to use almost
nothing of it after returning home, we forgot it all very quickly.
