Jeber Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 My roommate just asked me a question about file sharing I don't know the answer to, so I'm asking you all. At work he has a homegroup with two computers in it, one a Windows 7 machine and the other running XP. He wants to share files between the two. Each computer can see the shared files, but when trying to open them he's getting an error that says, as best as he can recall, that he doesn't have permission to open the file. He hasn't set any permissions on the files. (This is a lawyer's office and the files are mostly text documents) Any ideas on what the problem might be and how to resolve it?

zlim Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Apparently XP can't use Homegroup. You have to use WorkGroup http://www.7tutorials.com/sharing-between-windows-xp-and-windows-7-computers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
