Default 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.

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. :-)

And MS is removing Home Groups from Win 10. So it's a non-issue going
forward.

There are tons of remoting tools that have file transfer. Examples: any
variant of VNC (TightVNC, RealVNC, UltraVNC), Teamviewer, LogMeIn,
mikogo, and Microsoft's own RDP.

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

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.
