Making changes over network windows 7

[Pub247]

Ok for those who know more than me i need some help.
I found it easy on xp to enable user to make changes over network but win 7 i cant.

Basically i have a media pc and my normal pc.

I want to be able to rename my media files move new media files onto my media pc from my other pc.
Everytime i get you dont have permission to do this.

Now im fairly sure i have shared the hdd and set the permission to allow everything but it still doesnt work

Any help be great Cheers Pub

I`m assuming your win7 machine is hosting you files, if so Drive (X) thats hosting you files need the correct permissions. Win7 is somewhat difficult to work with in this respect. XP was much straight forward. First off the drive needs to be shared which by the sounds of it you have done. Right click on the drive and click sharing, then advanced sharing, then permissions. Add the user you have mapped the drive with on your HTPC with full control of the drive

Cheers For the help guys.

Some reason it has started working from permissions alone. I had done it like you said johnboy but maybe i just needed a restart for it to work who knows i dont care it works now
