Windows 7: Windows cannot access \\<PC-NAME>\drive

Here's my issue, when i try to open up the network I get an error saying Windows cannot access \\toxic-pc\c. You do not have permission to access \\toxic-pc\c. Contract your network administrator to request access. The weird thing is that i can ping it perfectly, and I can also see all computers in the workgroup perfectly, and I can access the public folder fine, but i can't figure out why i don't have permission to access that folder.

I'mm willing to screenshot anything you need to check settings, I have the drives set to shared, and shared permissions tab set to everyone.



Here's a screenshot of the network folder.

Hello toxicrat,
Everyone keeps getting hungup on drive access. To access the entire drive you need to use both the regular sharing permissons and more importantly you need to use the Security tab of the drive and allow for permissions there as well. Example below.

From a security stand point you would be better off sharing the entire User folder rather than then entire C drive.

thank you soooo much, fixed my problem perfectly

No problem toxicrat.

i have almost same problem but cannot solve it with that solution.

Thank you so much dear i resolved my problem ......
