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.Â*Â* 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;
