Win7 sharing related problems and solutions

First, configure Win7 sharing settings correctly: Open "Network and Sharing Center" and make sure your network location is "Home Network" or "Working Network". By default, Win7 will set these two network locations as " The private network "opens the network share, and the "public network" closes the network share. Of course, for the "public network" you can also manually open the network share, but for security reasons, it is best not to do this. By default, Win7's "public network" security level seems to be lower (unconfirmed, purely author guess ). Then check if the guest is disabled: "Computer" right click, "Manage", "Local Users and Groups", "Users", right click on "Guest", "Properties" to uncheck "Account is disabled", then apply . For Win7 Normal\\Advanced Home Edition, there is no "Local User and Group" under "Computer Management". Can I not view and modify the Guest activation status? At this point you can use the command line to operate, "Start", type CMD in the search bar, (or "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", "Command Prompt") right click on the searched CMD to manage Run as a member, then type net user guest and press Enter to see if "User Enable" is "No". If you continue, type net user guest /active:yes and press Enter. If "Yes" is displayed, you can skip the execution of net user guest. /active:yes command. Then set up the shared folder: right click on the folder you need to share, "Properties", "Share" tab, "Share", type guest or drop down to find it, "Add", "Share", Or "Properties", "Share" tab, "Advanced Sharing", check "Share this folder", "Permissions", "Add", type guest, "Check Name" OK.

If you still can't share success after doing the above settings, you can follow the following symptoms.

Symptom 1:
The shared host can be found on the network, but after double-clicking it prompts “Windows cannot access”. The host can be searched on the network, but after double-clicking it prompts “\\\\xx cannot be accessed..... ...."
The reason for this is that the host has disabled access to the guest network. The solution is, Win+R calls up the run box, type gpedit.msc, press Enter, open Group Policy, "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Local Policies", "User Rights Assignment", find Double-click to open "Deny access to this computer from the network", select "Guest", "Delete". (This method is only valid for Win7 Professional and above. Win7 Normal\\Advanced Home has no group policy and cannot be changed. Please refer to the solution below.)

Symptom 3: This happens The reason is that the host has enabled password protection sharing. The solution is to go to "Network and Sharing Center", "Change Advanced Sharing Settings", "Close Password Protected Sharing" and "Save Settings".
Finally, for Win7 Ordinary \\ Advanced Home Edition without Group Policy to remove "Symptom 2" and still can not be shared by the above scheme, you can use an "alternative" sharing method, that is, without the sharing, but using the current sharing Users who log in to the host share. The specific setting is to first set a password for the user currently logging in to the shared host. The method for setting the password is to the "Control Panel", "User Account", "Create Password" or "Control Panel", "User Account and Family" of the shared host. Security, User Account, Create Password, then right click on the folder you want to share, Properties, Share tab, Share, Advanced Share, check "Share this folder" "," "permission", "add", type the user name of the current host (the name of the user folder of the desktop is the name of the current host login user, or open the "Task Manager", the "Users" tab can also be seen ), "Check Name", OK. It should be noted that the user password of the shared host is not set, and the user name and the blank password can not be successfully accessed when sharing. By default, Win7 does not allow null password access. Such a sharing method will double-click the shared host in the network and will prompt the same as the "enter network password" box in "Symptom 2", enter the user name and password currently logged in to the shared host to access.
In addition, Win7 seems to play a role in the "workgroup", even if it is not in the same working group can be normal access, such as the author's machine, one in the "E-518", the other is the default "workgroup" "You can also visit each other."
