Windows7 shared folders can't be accessed by other systems.

Now the network is more and more developed, and the files are getting more and more. The best way is to share them in the shared folder, but there is a problem here. The user does not have to use the same system, so the XP system computer can not access the Windows7 shared folder, although some can see the shared directory under Windows 7, but once entered the directory, it will prompt no access.

Solution:

Go to “Network and Sharing Center'; set it up and turn off Windows Firewall. Although there is an insecure risk to doing so, in order to achieve mutual access between different systems, it is only a last resort.

After closing the Windows Firewall, the next step is to go to the "Advanced Settings" on the left side of the firewall settings interface, and modify the "Inbound Rules" and "Outbound Rules". In both rules, find the <;File and Printer Sharing" option and set all of its options to “Allow all connection”.

After completing the above settings, go to “User Accounts” and open the “Guest” account and open the corresponding sharing function in the system service. At this point, the sharing settings have been almost completed. Finally, set the corresponding shared folder. If you are familiar with the XP sharing settings, you can basically operate the following settings very conveniently. The concept of sharing Windows 7 settings is almost the same as XP. The difference is that the path is different.

The first step is to select the folder to be shared, right click and select “properties", in the "Share” tab, select “Advanced Share” and <;Share this Click on the folder in front of the folder, then click “Add”——“Advanced”——“Find Now” in “Permissions". Then select “Everyone” and <Guest” in the results of the search and confirm.

Are you using a shared folder now? If you are useful, you will encounter such a problem, but even if you encounter it, it doesn't matter. Through the above steps, you can basically solve 99% of XP's inaccessibility. The problem of the shared folder of Windows7, of course, does not rule out the access exception still occurs through the above methods. For this reason, it is recommended to temporarily disable the installation of additional anti-virus software or a third-party network firewall such as Skynet to prevent other network firewalls from obstructing access.
