Solution for XP/Win7 file access barriers

Many system users will inevitably encounter problems that cannot be accessed by each other in WinXP/Win7 system. In many cases, a seemingly unrelated system default setting is likely It will cause normal access between the systems, so we feel that there is no solution to this problem. In fact, we can sum up the solution to this problem, and then solve the specific problem according to the specific situation, let's look at it together.

When there are obstacles to file sharing or mutual access between Winodws XP and Windows 7, including the case of mutual access and dual-machine interconnection in the LAN, we can start from the following aspects.

1.Whether the firewall is turned off

If you can't see each other between Windows 7 and Windows XP, first make sure that the firewalls of both are closed.

Turn off Windows 7 Firewall

After turning off the system firewall for Windows 7 and Windows XP, you should pay attention to whether a third-party firewall is installed. If it is already installed, please close it.

XP system computers can not access Windows7 shared folders, although some can see the shared directory under Windows 7, but once you enter the directory, you will be prompted no access.

2.Opening the Guest Account

Until now, there is no reasonable explanation to explain why not opening the Guest account will affect the mutual access between Windows systems. This situation has been confirmed more than once between the resolution of Windows 98 and Windows XP. Therefore, in the mutual visit between Windows XP and Windows 7, you also need to open the Guest account.

Similarly, you also need to open the Guest Guest account on Windows XP.

3.File and Printer Sharing

When the user closes the firewall and the guest account is already open, but still cannot communicate with each other, the user needs to open the Windows XP and Windows 7 firewall respectively. “File and Printer Sharing”.

Special reminder, if you are accessing by remote sharing, you should also find the remote service related items, and will separately They open.

4. User Permissions

In Windows 7 systems, Microsoft gave the administrator account higher security privileges for system security reasons. However, this "high privilege" setting will cause more access barriers when the system is visited. Usually, because the Windows 7 system is more alert to system access, you need to give the visitor higher privileges if you encounter insufficient system prompts.

Tips: Security Account Permissions in Windows 7 System

Including some Windows 7 users, many people think that the Administrator account is the owner of the highest authority in the system, which is not the case. Microsoft also set up a hidden account in Windows 7, which has higher permissions.

Back to the previous topic, because the other party is a network access, you may not be able to increase the permissions for the specific access account in the LAN, so you need to reduce the permissions of the files (folders) being accessed. In other words, indirectly give the visitor & ldquo; full control permissions & rdquo;.

Special note:

If the user is set up as described above, the visitor still cannot access the shared file, it is recommended that everyone be at &ldquo In the "123 Properties" folder, switch to the "Security" tab and add full control access to the folder for the user.

5. Security software or system-assisted software

In the Windows XP era, the famous system-assisted software, the Windows optimization master, has been super rabbit magic settings. Under the Windows 7 platform, such software is still used by some users. Such software is also for system security considerations, generally shutting down system remote access, or folder sharing. If you have such software installed, you will need to check their program settings, whether sharing and remote services are turned off, and so on.

In addition, in some anti-virus software, they also limit remote services and access, you also need to remove the restrictions.

Because winXP/Win7 files can't communicate with each other for more reasons, we can't get a perfect solution in practice, but we can start from the performance of their problems and integrate The solution that best suits your problem.
