Do the following for each computer.

1. Network & Sharing Centre Change Advanced Sharing settings.
Turn on Network Discovery, file and printer sharing, sharing so anyone
with network access can read and write files in the public folders.
Turn off password protected sharing.
2. Computer (This PC), Map network drive. Set drive letter (Z default).
Folder set by browse (I chose User/Public).

And that's it.

You can also just share you own folders and not Public's. But Public is
okay, at least the files are there, moving them is the trivial part of it
all. :-)


I read about a chap who gave up on homegroups and installed MS Garage
Mouse;

Actually, it's "Mouse without Borders" from the MS Garage :-)

I've used it in the past, but it became very flaky for me. After having to
re-install it a few times to make it work, I gave up.
