Networking 7 & 10 without home/work groups
This worked first time for me, one Win7 and three Win10s.
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. Ed |

But Public is okay, at least the files are there, moving them is the trivial part of it all. :-) |

So it's a non-issue going forward. |

Aaagghh! You just used my most hated phrase; "going forward". I might start a "Bring back 'in future' campaign". Ed (:- |

After having to re-install it a few times to make it work, I gave up. -- SC Tom |
