Hi. I have 2 PCs set up as a home group using wi-fi. Problem is I needed to format PC 'A'.
How do I set it up on a home group to connect to PC 'B'? Is there a way of getting PC 'B' to reveal its home group ID a large alpha numeric number?
Thanks.
Will still need to set up PC 'A' to work with a home group and enter the home group ID.

It's simpler to just use workgroup as that is active by default and less hassle than homegroup
Sorry meant workgroup
Confused. This is 2 computers at home on a private network. What is the problem with Home group?

Dos is not my thing. Will wait till another day of the week when someone can help.
I had a look on the internet and it said you need to have a home group to use a work group. You said NO don't use home group.
Setting up home group asks for a name. computers don't have names and I cant say share with John, George, Paul or Ringo. There are no names and asked to share with a website domain is stupid.
If you cant use cmd prompt then you can do this How to Stop Sharing a Folder in Windows 7 and Windows Vista - dummies
workgroup is active by default you dont have to set anything up apart from shares and ntfs permissions
