Alot of the times they do too much when only abit is required, as per first line in my sig.

Glad to hear rebuilding w7 has worked. :)

Other issues? Far more obvious likely due to how things are configured. The one thing lackiing the article there that would be useful would be some troubleshooting steps. But that would easily take up about two more blogs pages.

That's pretty much what I meant when I said "other issues".

Welcome to Seven Forums!

You probably should have started a new thread vs adding on to a very old one.

But either way let's see if we can help.

Here are a couple tutorials that should get you started.

Homegroup - Change File and Folder Sharing Settings

File Sharing - Between XP and W7 (and vice versa)

We have an extensive collection of tutorials that cover a number of subjects. You'll find them all here:

Good Luck!
