Deny Access to this Computer from the Network Win7 Home Premium
I have been trying to set up a homegroup to share between a desktop and two laptops. After many attempts I got the two laptops to work by removing guest from "deny access to this computer from the network" in the local security settings. Both of the laptops were running windows 7 professional. Unfortunately my desktop is running windows 7 home premium which doesn't have the local security settings option. So my question is can I remove the guest account from "deny access to this computer from the network" in windows 7 home premium through some interesting bit of registry editing or something? I really don't want to upgrade to professional if possible.

I have run the homegroup trouble shooter and it couldn't find the problem. I've run through all of the settings in the link provided. I have done a number of other things besides. The only thing that has made it work was the method described above.
So, I know this is beating a dead horse and all but is there some way to do the above in Windows 7 Home Premium? |

I am using admin accounts. Basically the problem was that I could see each of the other machines and shared folders on those machines but I couldn't access them. I would click on the folders get the little spinny ball thing for a few seconds and then nothing. Couldn't get anything to work until did the above.

Attempted and there was no change.
Some other information which might be useful. If I try to access the computer by typing the ip \\192.168.*.* in the start menu menu it says logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. |

Access problems are from improper permissions settings or the NTFS security settings were somehow misconfigured.
The only other thing that can block file access would be a third party anti virus software or firewall. If you can post the NTFS permissions on the security tab of the C:>Users folder it may show some problems with the default access permission settings. |

I'm having the same issue with Windows 8 Home(no secpol tool)
My Situation - The Guest account has a password - The folder has Guest added to the Network user Share list - NTFS permissions(ACL) has both a "verified User"as well as "Guest"in the list of acces (although i think a guest with password is a veriefied user) the User "Everyone" is not added for security reasons The network share works fine with the admin account(which is also password protected Was there ever a solution to this? or is the registry Key corresponding the this secpol setting known? |
