cannot access shares the local computer

Hi-

Win7 64 bit.   I use homegroup, and I have this Win7PC on my local network with XP and Vista PC.  I can see the 2 other PCs on the Win7 PC and get to their shared folders.  None of them access to the part of it.  I have the name of workgroup defined correctly on all (including this PC Win7).

In addition, oddly enough, on the WIn7 PC, in WIndows Explorer, I can navigate to C:\Users\Public BUT if I try to go into WIndows Explorer, then fall below computer - C: to the network and open it, I see the other 2 PC and the local PC.  The WIn7 PC is called "kirk".  So, in network - Kirk, IF I open it I see 'users' share.  BUT if I click on it, I get the error:

\\kirk\users is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.

I am logged in as administrator (on Kirk).

So, to rephrase, I am connected to a Win7 PC as an administrator.  I can navigate to C:\Users\Public in WIndows Explorer.

BUT if I go to "Network Neighborhood" in WIndows Explorer (it's actually just "network") I see the local PC named Kirk.  If I click on it, I see 'User' (share).  I can't go to see 'public '.

To make things more awkward, I could access it until a few days ago and I has not installed anything new, although WIn7 can be updated automatically.

Help!

Thank you

Kelly

Hi-

Thanks for the list of things.  There was a lot of good links in there.  I went through everything without the blinkers "it worked before" and "I won't change anything" on each link there is, I've lived and all checked.  The only one I had to do something opened ports in my firewall mcafee.

Nothing helps.

This PC is named kirk and I still don't see files shared this PC itself in windows Explorer - network\kirk. for me, very odd, I am connected to kirk as an administrator.  I open Explorer windows on kirk.  I can see c:\users\public in windows Explorer, but I do not see network\\kirk\users

so, I thought, let's start over.

I went to the center of network share and changed "active network" of the type "work network" type "home network" and it is now.

working group name has not changed so it's always "the Star", so I can see all the other no WIn7 PC and PC WIn7 himself can see that it is me in network neighborhood.

I'll reboot and be sure to x 2.  very weird.

Thanks for your help!

Kelly

    I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    UAC is set to the lowest level 2

    The other day I have problems with the search box in the start bar. It is more was to find excel or other office applications and also he wouldn't orders base as cmd or Notepad. Whenever I run a command it returns an error like this (not exact because I have the exact error message):

    Windows cannot find ': search query = cmd'

    I searched a little and tried to rebuild the index in Control Panel > Indexing Options. It does not work so I uninstalled Windows Search and reinstalled. What I found now, is that the indexing service would not start and if I tried manually start from services.msc I would get the following error:

    Windows search Windows failed to start the service on the Local computer
    Error 161: the specified path is not valid

    The event log showed me this Application error:

    Help!

    Thanks Samhrutha.
    Your proposed solution of editing the registry is the only solution I found to this day and still work.
    The only drawback that I want to emphasize is that this fix causes completely reset to its default settings of windows search.  Customizations to search what have been done by the user (e.g., windows search indexing user customizations options) will be lost.

    I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and occasionally experienced the same error message ( windows cannot find ': search query = XXX ", where XXX corresponds to my search query) try to search through windows when start menu search box.

    Only recently, however, discovered one other cause possible/fix to this problem.
    Specifically, I discovered that the error of windows search resulting from the ADDITION of a NETWORK LOCATION on the local computer (for example, via the menu option "Add a network location" that appears when you click the file menu in a window of windows Explorer displays the contents of the local computer (corresponding to the "COMPUTER" icon). The CENTER of my computer SYNC settings have been defined to disable the synchronization of network or file 'offline' and I suspect that this setting is also part the cause of the error of research.

    To resolve this problem, simply tell windows search not to include the 'network' location in the search index.  To do this, one needs to access the settings of the windows search INDEX LOCATIONS (via Indexing Options-> change), then uncheck the box next to the network location (which on my computer starts as follows: oneindex: / / {s-1-5-21...)

    After unchecking this box, click on the OK button and then CLOSE the button to exit the Options of Index window.  After that the error message should hopefully not return.  If so, try restarting the computer and research to test again.

    Hope this helps!

    :)
