Homegroup works for streaming, but not accessing/sharing files???
I have set up a homegroup using Windows 7 on a desktop and Windows 8.1 on a laptop. For some reason I can directly access the documents on the laptop from the desktop, but when I try to access documents on the desktop from the laptop, I get the message "You do not have permission to access..."
There are a couple weird exceptions...
1) I can STREAM content that's on my deskop to my laptop using Windows Media Player...so pictures, videos and music come through using Media Player, I just can't physically access the folders where this content is saved (e.g., My Music, My Videos, etc.).
2) If I save items on my desktop in folders specifically labeled "Public" (e.g., Public Documents, Public Downloads, etc.) I can access the content from my laptop no problem. But ONLY if the files in in these "public" folders.
What gives? When I set up the homegroup, I clicked all boxes under "share libraries and printers" (e.g., pictures, music, documents, etc.), so not sure what's going on here...
ANY IDEAS???
THANKS!!!!
