• Networking Windows 7 and a Windows 98 computer

  Since the update to my Windows Vista computer to Windows 7, I can no longer communicate with an old Windows 98 computer I connected. I've assigned and IP for the Windows 98 computer and I've added to the list of networks on my Security Center Firewall (McAfee), as has been suggested as a possible solution.  It did not work.

  I need to be able to have the old Windows 98 computer on my home network for what one might consider a stupid reason (I've got an older scanner on this computer and large enough files that create scanners are also difficult to transfer to the new computer.  The new scanner has stopped working after only a year and a half because of what HP calls irreparable electronic failure, so I use the old scanner on a Windows 98 computer for which the software was never updated for XP/Vista/7.

  The Windows 7 computer see the network connection, but that is as far as things go. How can I get Windows 7 and Windows 98 computers to see and talk to each other?

  Short answer: can not be done. You can access shared folders in Win98 to Windows 7 computer, but not the reverse. Scan on, one after the other using file transfer. You cannot use a Windows 7 Homegroup to connect this way, you must use the standard file sharing and printers (as in the working groups). Create an account on the Windows 98 computer that has the same user name and password for an account on the Windows 7 computer. Set up as usual on the Windows 98 file sharing computer and assign it to the same workgroup name that the Windows 7 computer use. It should then appear in a Windows 7 network and allow you to access shared folders Win98. You can see the computer Windows 7 from Windows 98, but you will not be able to access.
  All confirmed as true, but - WHY?

  Windows 7 keeps shoving homegroup into my face, as if all of the computers on the planet he runs.
  This is the notion of a network is damaged. The idea of a network is to share resources.
  After the days of violin which he inserted - PC after the name, I gave him, used for the first HOUSE as my location, then lost, has created a homegroup, when I never requseted it. Or simply behaving badly HURT.
  I was finally able to get the computer to windows 7 in the same workgroup as my other computers.
  It STILL shows it as connetion: internet! Stupid _...
  And now when I try to access is no longer an error, but asks for a password.
  My normal response to this is (Hit Enter Key - i.e. 'none' on well behaved systems.)
  I wonder what Windows 7 by default?
  No matter, the machine and the operating system will return to the store.

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  Also, when folders are enabled it is my understanding that an addition is made to the guest OS network providers.  What is the impact of the network provider of shared folders moving further towards the bottom of the list of purchase orders (network connections, advanced, advanced settings, purchase order).

  As far as I KNOW, this is not possible if it running ESX (i)

  KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1317 tire

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• Cannot remove three shared folders from previous installations of the operating system

  I discovered three files named ICS$ ADMIN$ and C$ in the management of the computer that displays three folders. I wonder if you have a solution to this problem or any useful comments, you will have on the problem.

  NOTE: I tried to delete the folder via an elevated command prompt.

  I already deleted the folder three via the command prompt the command delete, but when I rebooted the computer, shared three record were still there.

  You can see these three files here http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/Dannysbiz/untitled2.png

  It works the same way with $recycle.bin if the folder and the file does not exist it creates it and sets their default no matter if it comes from your old operating system or not his record as a value by default, you could run cmd system permissions and delete them throughout the day and it just regenerate.

• VMware Player - shared folders

  My understanding is that VMware Player supports folders as part of its feature set.

  Or, activate transparently shared folders, access the data on your host computer.

  However, reading I've done, it appears that VMtools must be installed for that to be the case, and that it is not distributed with VMplayer VMtools.  Neither seems to VMtools distributed by any means VMserver... which brings me to legal concerns regarding installation of the VMtools on a system with VMplayer installed.  Some clarification would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  Yes, you can have the creator of the virtual machine to install tools for you.  However, in addition to just install VMWare Tools, the path to the shared folder on your host computer must be specified.  (for example: C:\) The documents and Settings\ myusername \My Documents.)  You must tell the creator of the VM path to the folder on your host computer... and I hope that it isn't typo there.    If it does, then you have him to redo the VM again, or you must manually change the. VMX configuration file.  You can keep the part in a 'simple' path.  (for example: C:\sharedfolder.)

  So IMHO it is just as easy, if not easier, just install Workstation in trial mode, install VMWare Tools, then set up shared folders.  (Basically, just navigate to the folder you want to share.)

  Hello

  I'm the developer for the VMware Shared Folders feature.

  The problem is caused by the Microsoft updates, destroying the registry settings.

  After the upgrade, you just need to check and restore the registry setting below and everything should start working (for folders).

  (No need to uninstall and install again, as this will also restore the registry, but takes significantly more time.)

  All you have to do is to change the registry

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order

  Name: ProviderOrder

  Type: REG_SZ

  Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation, webclient.

  Change it to:

  Data: "vmhgfs, RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation, webclient.

  Exit the registry application

  Then you'll then readers of shared folders and the UNC paths accessible once more. No need to reboot or log off. No need to uninstall and reinstall the tools.

  It has also been noted in wire Re: support Windows 10

  Hope this saves time to users.

  Also when I was at Microsoft earlier this year test Win 10 and shared folders, I and others (for redirectors) says the guys from the migration of this question and they promised it would be fixed.

• Cannot map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  Hi Buck,

  Welcome to the community.

  Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• Shared folders and Windows November 10 update

  Since "redevelopment" of the update of Windows 10 November, my shared folders do not work.  I had hoped that upgrading 8.1 Fusion is going to fix it but it didn't.

  Basically I enable shared folders, such as Documents and downloads, I can access it from the link on the desktop.  However, I don't get my y and Z: drives I was doing.  In addition, at the opening of the Explorer there suddenly from 30 to 60 seconds while he was apparently trying to find these discs.

  If I turn off sharing, the Explorer is fast and never crashes.

  I tried unisntalling/reinstalling VMWare tools, but it makes no difference.  I have to leave shared folders disabled to have a usable virtual machine.

  Any thoughts on how to fix this so that it works as it did before the November update?

  Hello

  Strange uninstall - reboot - install VMware Tools has been working flawlessly down here to solve a similar problem.

  There are a few things you can try.

  First check the registry that you do not:

  All you have to do is to change the registry

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
  

  Name: ProviderOrder
  

  Type: REG_SZ
  

  Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
  

  He should have "vmhgfs" for the first option:

  Data: "vmhgfs,RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
  

  Second, try to re-create the shares.

  Remove them, turn off sharing, close the dialog box for sharing and then re - open the dialog box and try sharing once more and add the old shares in return.

  Yet another thing you can do is to disable the folder change event notification.

  The side effect of this is you will need to click Refresh in Windows Explorer to see a change, he could stop the slowness of your Explorer.

  While I use it myself I do not recommend for most users.

  isolation.tools.hgfs.notify.enable = "FALSE"
  

  See also: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2011360

  Finally, I also see the hosts host file sharing slow down when there was a ton of files and anti-virus analysis actively sharing files.

  At least disable the scan compressed files.

• No more connected after an update of Windows shared folders

  Hello everyone

  First post here, hope you are well

  I'm nay-seven working for music software, testing 10 Windows on a Mac 10.8.5

  After the last Windows Update today, some strange results on the side of Vmware:

  the folders on my desktop no longer opens, a mouse on them say 'empty folder' and double click not show a value (can't even delete them)

  I also notice a second shortcut on my desktop named "vmware shared folders (1).

  If I open the windows file browser I see a red x on 'shared folders (\\vmware-host)(Z :) '. "If I try to open it a message say" Z: is not accessible...

  If someone can help me on this issue, my appz works, but this fake desktop is a bit annoying

  Hello nayseven,

  The same problem has been reported for Windows 10 11 computer, and the user out there it is resolved by reinstalling VMware Tools.

  The correct way to do this is to uninstall VMware Tools-> restart guest operating system-> install VMware Tools-> restart guest operating system.

  The repair option still does not and can not solve this problem.
