How do I share My Documents from Win7-64 to Win7-64 only?
I have a home network with 7 computers.
Two (2) are Windows 7 64-bit.
Two (2) are Windows 7 32-bit.
Three (3) are Windows XP.
The Windows 7 machines are also grouped in a Homegroup.
The two (2) Windows 7 64-bit machines is a laptop (Win7 64-bit PRO) and a desktop (Win7 64-bit ULT).
PROBLEM: I want to share the My Documents folder of the WIN7PRO laptop with the WIN7ULT desktop. I do not want the other machines to have access to WIN7PRO\My Documents.
I cannot use Homegroups because the other Win7 machines would then have access to it.
Both of these Win7-64 machines have the SAME USER with ADMIN user settings and password. I'm the only one who uses the Win7PRO laptop and Win7ULT desktop, so I use the SAME User/Password and Admin rights for both.
I tried to use the Shared Wizard (shrpubw.exe) on the Win7PRO laptop. Under FOLDER PATH, I navigated to C:\Users\Me\Documents and clicked NEXT.
Under NAME, DESCRIPTION, and SETTINGS, I left the default SHARED NAME as Documents, it shows the SHARE PATH as \\WIN7PRO\Documents, left the DESCRIPTION blank and did not do anything with OFFLINE SETTINGS and clicked NEXT.
Under SHARED FOLDER PERMISSIONS I selected CUSTOMIZE PERMISSIONS and clicked CUSTOM... button.
Under CUSTOMIZED PERMISSIONS, I clicked on ADD button.
Under SELECT USERS or GROUPS, I tried to change LOCATIONS to WIN7ULT as the FROM THIS LOCATION, but it does not show up as an option. Only the local machine WIN7PRO shows up.
I tried to add WIN7ULT\Me in the Objects list box, but it did not recognize it either.
I'm lost.
Any help?
Thanks.
