Windows 7 - Windows 7 Network and Sharing

Thanks alot !

Welcome krooaddy,
Glad that you are here on SevenForums. There are many how to's in our Tutorial Section. They can help you fine tune your Windows 7 install. Enjoy your time on SF.

I found solution!! For thousands of those who have similar problems with different kind of streamers and media players, that cannot access shared folders on Windows 7 computers:

In the following paragraph, we use ‘MACHINE’ instead of ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’.
First, click on “Start”. Type the command:
–>regedit
… and execute it.
Look for and modify these parameters as the following:
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\

1. On the right side find ‘everyoneincludesanonymous’; change the value to 1
2. Find ‘NoLmHash’ and change the value to 0

MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters à ‘restrictnullsessaccess’; change the value to 0
Close the registry editor and restart the computer.

I've been struggling with network shares for days, trying to configure a new Western Digital TV Live streamium device. The software that comes with the apparatus (WD Discovery) gives the following error: "no network share available". Looking for a clue to solve this problem I'v stumbled upon this thread (My OS is Windows 7). I cannot hower, edit my registry the way it is suggested: there is only a HKEY LOCAL MACHINE, no 'other' machine. 'So what do you mean by: we use ‘MACHINE’ instead of ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’??

I wonder what you mean by <use ‘MACHINE’ instead of ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’>, in the registry of Windows 7 there is no other machine than the Hkey Local Machine?

I think Machine is just shorthand for the full key name; not actual key name
