I have several computers and several users, where we wouldn't be able to survive without the "Everyone" group, as we are constantly sharing and unsharing. As in, having to choose to share with each user individually is not possible.
However, that creates a problem. What if I want to leave one computer out of the group, so that the folders are shared with everyone except for it?
I can't add my new computer to the home group of an existing computer. When I attempt to add the new computer I get the message:"Peer networking grouping service not running"

What can I do to put all of the same icons into one file so that I don't have my desktop full of icons?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple request: to be able to exclude a folder (completely) from windows 7 indexing. That means, when I type something in the start menu, I don't even want file names to come up. It seems as far as I can get is having file content not be indexed, but file properties, including file names, are always indexed. I'd like to not have to disable indexing all together because it's very useful, but doesn't seem like it should be impossible to totally exclude a folder.I'm a teacher, and I have lots of students work on my computer that they submit electronically, but I teach many technical tutorials with a projector, and it seems not good form to have students work show up when I have to search for projects to show for examples

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a workgroup set up with a server (running Server 2008) and 4 identical (literally) computers. Each computer has certain shared files. There is no problem seeing or accessing the files on these computers.I am trying to add a fifth computer to the workgroup. I have added the new computer and can see the other 4 computers. However, every time I try to access any of the other 4 computers on the workgroup, I am asked for my network username and password. It doesn't matter what I put for the username and password - nothing works. It continues to say "Logon failure: unknown username or bad password".

I have a dual LAN on my computer and two computers with Windows 7.
One Lan card is for internet and the other is for connecting via ethernet cable with the second computer. I can share internet and files with the two but I can't make the remote computer to join the Home group since it is connected to the unidentified network LAN card on my host computer.
How can I change the unidentified network to Home? sine it is actually home!
I configured static IP in order to share the internet and enabled the ICS.
Is there a way to exclude some programs from automatically showing up in start menu?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to ask how to set WinRAR to exclude files with the exact filenames: 'thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' (without the quotes, ignore case) from being extracted from an archive.Ex. Files with these filenames should not be extracted
[code]...
Abcd.DS_STORE.txt In 'Settings->Security->Prohibited file types->File types to exclude from extracting', if I just type in 'thumbs.db .DS_Store' (without the quotes) in the field, will it work the way I described? Also, does anyone know if WinRAR has a syntax guide for the Prohibited file types list in case I'd like to add more filenames or be flexible with the rules I need?The reason for this question, is I'd like to not extract unnecessary files from ZIP, RAR or 7z archives in Windows 7 - files like Windows 2000/XP's Thumbs.db file (Thumbnail cache) and Mac OS X' .DS_Store file (Desktop Services Store), while not being too strict and also not extracting files which just contain 'Thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' in its filename.
I have my current Windows 7 setup on a regular 2TB drive (about 1.4TB of which is used). I would like to move my installation onto my new SSD (only 256GB), and obviously I can't simply clone it. I do NOT want to just install from scratch (I have a bazillion programs installed, it would take forever to do that over)
What I was thinking, was that I could migrate the base system files onto the SSD, and then use symbolic links to point to my bulkier folders (Program Files & Downloads are taking up most of the space, and I don't particularly care if these are at SSD speed) which would be located on the 2TB HDD. Does anyone know of a way to migrate a Windows 7 while excluding certain folders? If I could do that, then after the migration I could just set up symbolic links to point to my main storage drive without having to start from scratch.
I have a Windows 7 PC that's joined to a domain. The network location says "Domain network" and cannot be changed. According to Microsoft, you must set your location to "Home" in order to be able to join a computer to an already existing HomeGroup.My advanced sharing settings for both Home and Domain (domain being the current profile) show all the sharing and discovery settings enabled. HomeGroup Listener and HomeGroup Provider services are started. My Windows Firewall is enabled. I can connect to \computername of my HomeGroup computers.However, I cannot join the HomeGroup. It says "There is currently no homegroup on your network." [URL]I verified the group policy settings do not prohibit me from changing my network location from Domain to Home so that I may join a HomeGroup. However, I still cannot click on "Domain network" in order to change it to Home.How can I join this computer to the HomeGroup?

However, that button doesn�t appear on the screens of either machine that I want to network?

I give the machine its head and it comes back with the response that the computer�s time is out of sync, on both machines. However, clicking on �apply this fix,� brings forth yet another screen saying �Troubleshooter has completed, but was unable to fix all issues and that the problem is that my systems time differs from standard local time?

im on windows 7 build 7100
Installed win8 and now trying to connect to my Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 status is: connection internet, joined, local area connection. Win8 status is internet, not joined, local area connection. So I set up a homegroup on Win 8, have a password etc. Went to Windows 7 and tried to "reset" the home group connection there. Got error messages, " Cannot leave home group and Cannot remove your computer from Home Group" The win 8 error message initially (trying to connect to Windows 7) was "type in the user name and password??" Have no idea what that might be, assuming that is for the Windows 7 home group initial setup long ago. Hence trying to reset it. Other error messages (Windows 7) during this whole process is " Peer network resolution protocal service PNRP or peer network .. service is not (P2pimsvc) running. Also, Peer networking Grouping service is not running". I have most of the settings to ON, network discovery, sharing etc. This kinda stuff reminds me back in the days trying to get a HDD recognized by # cylinders, sectors etc. Right now trying to do a discovery just times out after 3 minutes or so, even thought the windows says may take as much as 90 seconds. If it matters, all machines connect to internet no problems, and the two machines are connected via a network switch
