Access to the desktop from the laptop

At one point, I was able to access my files on my desktop from my laptop. I'm not computer savvy, but I managed to understand. However, something has changed and I can 'see' is no longer my office.

Any suggestions?

  • When I access a shared drive on my desktop from my laptop, WINDOWS SECUITY not WILL NOT stop asking PASSWORD INTERNET

    I read the exact message of 2010 covering this topic completely, and it was NOT resolved, then, or now.  5 years later, STILL not resolved because, like them, I tried Microsoft's answer and it still doesn't (turn off password protected sharing) as my has been extinguished.

    For the last year it wasn't a problem, then all of a sudden, it will be NOT SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

    I have a laptop and desktop computer in my house. same mfg, same type of model, etc., same OS, WIN 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

    My office is in my office, laptop is in the bedroom. Since my office is more powerful, I have several TB of STORAGE of USB on the desktop, on the laptop in the room, I remote in the laptop desk console, control and exploit office and the drive of the laptop. .

    To last year, when a shared has been evaluated, there NEVER DEMAND for Internet password until about a month.  But now he more furious than h... l as he won't stop asking the internet password, every start, every player.

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE WIN 7 SHUT UP!.  May remember the password as he says he will?

    It says "click the box to store references" What's this? A joke of Microsoft?

    One could think at the time of Win 7 came out, it would have been set.  But even on this Forum, 5 years later I asked the same question they asked in 2010 of this Forum.

    Hello

    The solution depends on what type of account you use.

    If it is a Microsoft account, press the Windows key + i , then select change PC settings.

    Click the users tab.

    Select change your password.

    In the next screen, click on the link you have forgotten your password . This will bring you online where you can change the password.

    If it is a Local Administrator account, you can create a new Local account, give the new account type of administrator and use this account to change the password on your original account.

    Press the Windows key + X to display the system menu, and then select Control Panel / user accounts.
    Let us know the type of account.

    What operating system and version is office running machine? If its Windows 7 Ultimate/Pro, Vista Ultimate/professional or XP Pro/MCE, you could use Remote Desktop.

    If its all Home Edition of Windows 7, Vista or XP, you must use other alternatives like TeamViewer (free for personal use) or VNC (my favorite is UltraVNC with its encryption plugin) or Windows Live Mesh remote connections (only valid for Windows 7 or Vista Home Premium).

    Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections works well for the access/remote control of a computer Windows 7 Home Premium. It gives you a nice Remote Desktop display type of the Office from remote computers.

    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-2011-system-requirements

    You can use a web browser to access without installing any software, other than an ActiveX control, on the remote client or install Live Mesh on the client. Your choice.

    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Mesh-Remote-Desktop-using?OS=Mac

    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-mesh-devices-remote-connections-what-UI

    If you use Live Mesh Remote Connections I suggest to create a Live ID limited account type that does not include an e-mail account. I have install a limited Live ID I use only to connect to some Live Mesh remote connections to computers I want / access control.

    https://accountservices.passport.NET/ppnetworkhome.SRF?VV=1200&mkt=en-us&LC=1033

    You can, if you wish, also use an existing Live ID or create a new, but this is your choice.

    I installed Live Mesh 2011 on desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife and in distance/access control can it go literally anywhere. Sometimes I use the web based (IE. Method ActiveX) from my laptop on the desk.

    Here is an example of a session Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections on my laptop computer for access to the / remote control of desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife.

    Help, please.

    Hi Christine Mullen,.

    This happens usually only if you directly copy the photo on the root of the drive disc, you will need to create a folder in the drive and then try to transfer the photos and check if it works.

    If you still have the error then make a backup of the content player and then format the drive and check if it works.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Dudley,

    This can help identify which application has generated this message.

    Start Notepad and let Windows load completely.  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.  In the next window, click the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to each startup item and then click on apply to apply the change.  Reboot the laptop and let it run long enough to see if the message no longer appears.  Reactivate a substantive point both (your security software would be a good first choice), click on apply and restart, then check if the message now.  Keep doing this until you encounter the message following if poster again and you will know that the last program that you define to start is the cause.

    I would like to know what program it is.

    Pretty simple and easy, not only are there alternative methods, as is often the case in computing, but different methods produce different results.
    Aid articles have more complete explanations with step by step instructions and screenshots.

    You have the choice of four methods depending on what you're trying to reach. Ask you what set of bookmarks is the largest and most complex?

    Import and export of the a.)
    This adds bookmarks. It spikes on the existing ones. (For example, if the laptop: unsorted, folder of bookmarks and bookmarks are now additional folders in the existing desktop bookmarks menu.)
    Useful to simply do what you asked: export the Favorites of the laptop and import those on the desktop.
    However, if the office is new and has only a few bookmarks on it, but the laptop has the major then consider

    1. Export of the desktop as a HTML file.
    2. Backup of the laptop to create a .json file
    3. Restore the .json laptop on the desktop file.
    4. Follow-up to import HTML file
    • Office has now all the bookmarks of the laptop, as well as his own originals

    See

    (B) backup and restore
    This procedure by report written all existing bookmarks. He retained the structure of folders and bookmark labels. Ideal if bookmarks of laptop are the only ones that you care. Or combine the two methods, as suggested above.

    (C.) manually replace the bookmarks and the historical database.
    Not what you asked but that also gets the history information.
    This is useful if you often rely on the addessbar acting as the awesomebar

    (D.) sync
    An alternative is to use Firefox Sync. Who should ensure that the laptop and the Office have the same bookmarks.
    However if you do this save your bookmarks manually before the first sync bookmarks. I highly recommend that if synchronize you bookmarks you make regular manual backups too, because Sync itself can sometimes corrupt and duplicates of bookmarks. (If you do not notice this corruption quickly you can't have automated bookmarks that are free of corruption.)
