Hi Folks,

My laptop on windows 7 can see my Xp shares easily, but what's the easiest way to make a windows 7 folder viewable to XP?

I figured out to disable the password protection on windows 7 and it made the windows 7 public folders viewable finally.

I can now drop folders into the public folders but i dont want to do that. I would like to be able, like XP, just right click any folder, make visible to the network and thats it, done!

The folder right click options in windows 7 are a bit confusing, because you have right "share with.. nobody, homegroup etc, then there's the sharing option in properties, it asks for people to add so i add "homegroup"..

is "homegroup" the same as your network's workgroup name?

so easy to configure on XP but finding 7 not as easy.

thanks in advance for any assistance
