I did this about a month ago in a new computer and it all seemed fairly straight forward but nothings easy and I now have a different computer but cant seem to get it to work properly.

All I want is to be able to see and edit the full contents of the various hard drives on all computers.

Last time I was sure it was straight forward but this time, I can see them when i go to explorer>network but when i click on them it says i cant access them because i dont have permission.

Having done some googling i came up with one solution which does work but i know its not what i done before so wondering if, although it does the same, theres an easier way to do it.


The one i'm using is that you have to go into the drives properties, go into security, create a bew group called 'everyone' and give it full access.

Am i doing this wrong?
 
Yeah they can both see each other no problem.

As for the OS, both are windows 7 though one is home premium the other professional.
 
From what I could see and i may well be wrong, homegroup seemed quite limited in what you could share, like pictures, documents etc as opposed to entire drives.
