The simplest way to access XP in Windows 7 in LAN

In the LAN, mutual visits between Windows systems can be said to be a "difficult problem". Many professional network administrators may not be able to quickly solve a problem that "Windows 7 cannot access XP" or "XP cannot access Windows 7". However, because the cause of the problem is not unique, when faced with some individual problems, the user sometimes can't do anything about it.

For Windows 7 users in the LAN, they can't see the Windows XP machine. Some netizens have given a method that looks very "unbelievable" or even "unfounded", but it is not. Less users think this method is "sometimes very effective":

First of all, please ensure that the current Windows 7 machine's workgroup and IP are set correctly, then enter "Network and Sharing Center" → "Advanced Sharing Settings" , set the permissions items such as "Network Discovery" and "Network Share" to "Allow" or "Open".

Next, open a Windows XP machine that is inaccessible, generate a "My Network Places" shortcut, and copy it to the current Windows 7 system (can be copied to the desktop). At this point, after double-clicking the Windows XP "Network Neighborhood" shortcut in this Windows 7 system, the current Windows 7 machine can be accessed normally.

There are quite a few Windows 7 users who think this method is "very good", but there are also users who think that they "have no effect" after the trial. This method is really easy to use, or it is not easy to use at all. The author believes that it is more appropriate for users who encounter such problems to judge.
