On the PC with the drive you want to share:
- Right-click on the folder you want to share.
- Choose Properties.
- Go to the Sharing tab.
- Click Advanced Sharing.
- Check Share this folder.
- Set a Share name.
- Click Permissions.
- Add a group for Everyone.
- Give Everyone all permissions.
- Click OK to close all dialogs.
- Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
- Click Change advanced sharing settings.
- Make sure Network discovery and File and printer sharing are turned on.
Now comes the fun part.
- Make the following update to the Windows Registry on the PC you want to view/update the shared drive.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
"AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:00000001
I make this update on all PCs just to be sure.
