How to solve XP/Win7 files can not access the sharing problem

    For this problem, the author has always believed that there is no unique solution, that is, when a specific situation is encountered, a specific solution can be found. But in fact, we can also sum up a general solution, and then treat it according to the general ideas and specific issues.
The author believes that when there are obstacles to file sharing or mutual access between Winodws XP and Windows 7, including the situation of mutual access and dual-machine interconnection in the LAN, we can start from the following aspects. (This article is dominated by Windows 7 settings.) 1. Is the firewall turned off? If you can't see each other between Windows 7 and Windows XP, first stick to whether the firewalls are turned off.
Closing the Windows 7 Firewall After turning off the Windows 7 and Windows XP system firewalls, you should pay attention to whether a third-party firewall is installed. If it is already installed, please close it. The XP system's computer cannot access the Windows 7 shared folder. Some can see the shared directory under Windows 7, but once it enters the directory, it will prompt that there is no access.
2. Open 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.
Open Windows 7 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 can not achieve mutual access, users need to open the "File and Printer Sharing" under Windows XP and Windows 7 firewall respectively.
