This worked. I WAS in the wrong place. I tried to figure this out from the Security tab rather than the Sharing tab as your example shows. Again, thank-you for the guidance!!

Thanks for this. I see from your example that I was in the wrong place. I went through the Security tab rather than the Sharing tab. Things got crazy this morning and I'll have to attend to this later today if not tomorrow. I'll get back then with the results. Thanks again for the guidance!

This doesn't work for me. I get a pop up error box titled 'Destination Folder Access Denied' with the message 'you need permission to perform this action'. I can't figure out how to give the Windows 10 computer permissions to create files on the Windows 11 computer and vice versa. I can't set...

Lol...I was so excited to have something that actually worked that I didn't even think of this. I was just anxious to see it work on both computers. IMO, this (using shortcuts) is a very creative solution.

Thanks for posting this. In my initial post I referred to what I now know are the SMB settings as UMB settings. 'SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support' to be more precise. When I went to revert it back to its default, I couldn't find it. Thanks to your post I could.

WOW! That works. Created a shortcut to the 8940, cloned it, changed properties and voila I can now access files on either computer from either computer. Thank-you for posting this!!!

Yes. I never set it on either PC so 'Computer Description' was blank on both and 'Workgroup:' is WORKGROUP on both. I just tried setting the Computer Description to 'Work Group' on both, rebooted them and it didn't change anything. The only difference is the 'Full Computer Name'. One is...

I have 2 desktops, 1 running Windows 11, 1 running Windows 10. Both are current ( 22631.2861 for Win11...I inadvertently cut it off in my screen cap). I have the Advanced Sharing & Services.msc settings set per all instructions I can find related to this. The issue is that the Network devices...

No. I tried rebooting after SFC ran and the issue persists.

Yes, Explorer Patcher. Does 3 things for me: let's me control where the task bar goes, lets me use small icons on the task bar and allows me to have similar icons NOT automatically combined. EDIT: I've been running it since before I had to do the Windows re-install. At that point, I didn't...

Ran all the updates. First time back I couldn't even access the search bar. When I clicked on it, nothing happened as if it were disabled. I've experienced that before and it requires rebooting. So I rebooted and now I can access the search bar but the start menu still moves as soon as I try...

I recently had to do a reinstall of Windows 11 due to my not knowing that I shouldn't install NVIDIA driver updates from NVIDIA but I should get them from Dell. Apparently Dell has to tweak the NVIDIA drivers to accommodate their motherboard. The last NVIDIA update I took made my screen flash...
