Windows 7 insists I need password for XP machine that's never had one.
It's official I HATE THIS O.S.!!!!!!!!!!
Window XP FOREVER!!!!
I was trying to move some files from my W7 pro machine to shared folders on my Xp machine. Evil, awful Windows 7 pro INSISTS it needs a password to access that machine. I know I was moving files between these 2 machines in the past without a password. Of course, I can move files to the W7pro machine from the XP machine with out problems.
I absolutely hate this computer and this OS. I was moving the files to the XP machine because I want to put the files on a thumb drive and the XP machine will do this 5 times faster than the W7 machine. Or at least it did when the W7 machine actually let me move files to that PC.
It's pretty bad that you have to move files to a slower, less secure O.S to get them on to a thumb drive because you don't have an hour and a half to wait. I bet a Windows 8 machine would take 3 days.
Yes I have "Password Disabled" in the home network settings. Yes I have the guest account enabled on the XP machine.
No, I'm not trying to connect wirelessly.
