• How to share files between different user accounts on the same computer?

  Hello

  On my computer I set up 3 user accounts only I will use: hand admin, admin of spare and Standard. I'm trying to follow the Security Council use the standard account for everyday use. However, I can't work a way to share personal data files and folders between these accounts.

  I tried, for example, in the main admin account right click on My Documents and then share with so specific people then all add to the list and give each read/write permissions. However when I look then in My Documents on the 2 other accounts main admin account documents will not appear.

  What I am doing wrong?

• How to share files between Windows XP and Windows 7 without password?

  Hey guys, I want to share files between windows 7 and windows XP. I don't want to put the password on my Windows 7 or Windows XP account. I am going on my Windows XP perfectly shared files from Windows 7, but I am not able to go on my files of windows 7, the cause of my XP he asks user name and password. I enter the user name and it does not accept it if I make a password for my windows 7 and enter as the user name... I don't know what to do guys any help?

  Windows 7 only WILL NOT allow you to share files without a password, it's all just a common sense safety requirement.  It of a very bad practice to run your Windows installations with a null value, a password, give your facility a valid password.

  The simplest around your problem is to create an account with the same names and passwords on each machine and so typed the password when the connection is too a problem allow AutoLogon on the machines.

• How to share files between elements Organizer and Premiere Elements?

  Hello

  Since many years and versions of first and Photoshop Elements, I enjoyed the use of video in elements Organizer, projects when a new project was created under the Premiere Elements. I currently used this function up to the Version 11 of first and Photoshop Elements.

  Since my last update to version 14 of these two software, this feature doesn't seem to be present more. Indeed when I create a new project from Premiere Elements and fill it with video files:

  • either by dragging from the organizing elements in Premiere Elements
  • or importing video, Premiere Elements files.

  no new category of Album (usually called by the title of the video project) appears in the left column of the elements Organizer. Help files to the extent where have not been useful, even distinguish it: FBUS.html https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/using-elements-organizer-premiere-element

  Does anyone have a clue on the procedure of enabeling once again this important feature under the first items 14 and 14 elements Photoshop?

  I currently running Windows 7Pro, 64B. During the installation of Photoshop elements 14, I converted version of catalogs items Organizer version 14, using the automatic procedure 11. Neither first nor Photoshop elements 11 are more active on this computer. Suspecting a "bug" in update of organizing elements version 11 to 14, I made as a result of unsuccessful attempts:

  • I created a new project video with first items 14 and added video files using the dragging organizing elements 14 first 14 elements
  • I created a new project video with first items 14 and added video files using the software import feature.

  In both cases, it has failed to create a new folder in my albums, my video projects with the name of the newly created in Premiere Elements project.

  I hope to receive assistance on this issue which is very important when choosing a video footage of a very large number of video files to the creation of a new video.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

• How to share and protect photos from deletion on the same PC?

  On a single windows with several users PC how it accomplishes what follows?

  1. Allow the main user allows to have full control over the images on the PC and the catalogue BUT be protected against accidental deletion/move through windows file Explorer.
  2. Allow other users on the same computer, the ability to view images using the simple native windows Viewer BUT ALSO be protected against their deletion or move files.

  Here are some examples, I'd like to protect.

  • Woman is in a machine folder and accidentally moved 1999 2000 folder so she could not find.
  • Child deleted the folder (in this case unless it is a top-level folder, how do we know yet?)

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  You must use the Windows permissions to do this.  The main user would have full control over the images of the root folder, while other users have only read access.

  Let us know if you are interested in this approach, and we can provide the mechanics of setting this up.

  Of course, you can do it easily. In fact, the implementation of sharing on Win7 last month was almost as easy as it is on OS X.  ;-) I find that the snow leopard has the same bugginess of show Windows machines only randomly in the sharing of the Finder section, as it did in Leopard, however. I usually connect to Windows machines by opening a window of Finder and using go > connect to server > smb://Windows-computer-name instead. In the Win7 box, I have the network to the desktop icon (you can get this to customize > change icon).

  On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

  You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop in Win7 (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this.

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  You can find options to logon automatically for OS X in system preferences > accounts.

  On Win7, go to control panel > all items in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You do not want to use Homegroup.

  Configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, Configuration File and Printer Sharing ON will take care of that for these machines, and if you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

• When I try to share files between two computers Windows XP with SP3, I'm invited for a user name and password on both.

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines.

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  You can share files between all of these systems.
