Win 7 folders not accessible from XP?

K

Kenny

From Win 7 I can change, copy etc. files & folders on the Win XP PC but not
vice versa.
Win 7 PC has E: a partition on main SATA drive, and F: a secondary IDE
drive.
On both E: & F: I have enabled sharing and granted Permissions to Everyone
for Full control, Change & Read.
Trying to access E: from XP I get "you do not have permission----"etc, and
trying to access F: I can see the folders on the drive but trying to open
any folder get similar message about permissions.
I cannot figure this out since I have Sharing & Permissions set the same on
both.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Have a look at the thread entitled "TeamViewer" below; dated 31/12/10.

Thanks for the reply, am trying Team Viewer at present. I can now access
files & folders on Win 7 from XP.
I have the XP PC connected to a TV and was hoping I could stream media files
across but Team Viewer can only copy them, not stream them.
Also I like the ability to simply drag & drop files etc. between the 2 PC's
which Team Viewer can't do.

FYI, "below" is only relevant to what you happen to see on your own
screen. The rest of us may be sorting differently or have different
views enabled, etc.

You're the man to sort out the following question, Char.

We have two different language sets for discussing time.
One includes "2011", "the day Rome was founded", "when the balloon goes
up" and "the day Churchill became PM".
The second includes "yesterday", "tomorrow", and "in five years time".

The first implies an absolute notion of time; the second a relative one
viewed from the moment.

Which is correct?

Of course, one could avoid the whole controversy (TINC) by using MIDs
when referring to messages.

It happens that in my Usenet universe, earlier messages are "above", not
"below". Relatively speaking, of course.

I've never used 40tude Dialog, but from the screenshot it looks as if
you get the standard thread layout that I'm used to from Tbird, OE and WLM.

AS to just why I have them sorted latest on top I don't really know;
it's just that I've got used to that and can work far more instinctively
with it. But I guess there must be many others who've acclimatised
themselves to the opposite.

Which is up and which is down in space? A gravity pull makes that answer
easy. I suppose left and right are still relative to personal body
orientation.

How about the prior thread?

Dialog allows for several different screen layouts, and it allows you to
sort ascending or descending on whichever column you want.

I use a three-pane layout with the group pane on the left and the other
two on the right, with the header pane above the article pane. I sort by
thread, ascending in time, so the the latest posts are at the bottom.

I have always sorted newsgroups that way.

Just to show you how consistent I am, I sort my e-mails descending in
time, with the latest posts on top, and unthreaded.

I have always sorted e-mails that way. Go figure.

My e-mail arrangement is two panes, with folders on the left and headers
on the right; I don't display e-mails automatically. an e-mail opens in
a separate window when I double click on its header (safe hex).
