Unsharable redirected homegroup libraries

Hello

I am an administrator for a long time.  I have my libraries standard user on my drive D rather than C.  I used the built in the redirection feature in the tab "location" of each item of library (e.g. My Documents) to move the folders on my second drive.  Here's the problem:

Since redirect my libraries, I can't share on my home group.  When I go into the homegroup settings and check the Documents (for example), then select OK, when I return home group settings, Documents is not verified.  (NOTE: I went to another computer that does not have library files redirected and performed the same operation successfully, it is not a question of education.)  I was able to share the folder my documents D:\users\me\my manually to the homegroup, but I lose the discovery feature on other devices, such as my new wonderful Microsoft Surface Pro 128, when I use this method.  Does anyone know a solution to this bug?

Please no cookie cutter response after reading this post.

Thank you

Shawn

    Group residential slow and other problems with it

    Hello!

    I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
    And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
    If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    I'd appreciate any help really.

    The question could be WiFi in fact however try to device (hardware)
    update the driver first.

  • Switching to SSD HARD disk drives system

    I intend to install an SSD in my current PC and move my 8.1 Windows Installer to it. I have my key and a Flash Drive with the installation. But given that the SSD is a little less than half the size of my HARD drive today (instead of 500 GB 240 GB) I can't keep everything on the HARD drive now on the SSD.

    Is there a way to define the library pointers to another drive? What workout programs installed by default? Can I keep the old drive and use for this purpose? Is there some essential applications, such as browsers or Office, this need to live on the SSD? And I can recover my Outlook e-mail directories when I re-install Outlook?

    The purpose of having an SSD is also not only for the operating system runs faster, but also for your applications. Redirect requests to the mechanical hard drive would go to this effect. You should only redirect your personal folder on the HARD disk.

    pass the SSD HARD drive

    See the instructions below how to do this using Easeus do save:

    http://www.TODO-backup.com/backup-resource/data-transfer/move-Windows8.1-from-HDD-to-SSD.htm

    You will probably need an external hard drive with enough space for the installation of backup hard disk.

  • Does anyone know how to remove icons of the homegroups and libraries from the desktop?

    tried to find a way to do it without having to go into the registry...

    Windows7 Home Premium
    After hours to be annoyed... I can't find any other way.

    1 Homegroup icon:
    Open my computer, Control Panel, system and security, administrative tools, services, and then scroll down to: earphone homeGroup and homeGroup provider, disable both. Close, close the session. the icon should be gone when you log back.

    2. the icon libraries: carefully... Please, if there is no experience in the registry for assistance.

    go to: start, run, type: regedit, select the HKEY_Local_Machine key, navigate to the bottom of conclusion: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
    You will see several hexadecimal strings, select each in turn, and the right pane will show you which icon is selected. My icon library was the first chain and showed two lines on the right side of the page, the first being: usersLibraries and the second being: delete the message.

    When you find the string to the appropriate library, create a new folder in your my documents named: registry back up, then highlight the chain on the left, go up to the upper-left corner of the page of the registry and click on file and then export. Save the registry file in your new folder location. I also recorded the two files on the right side of the page and call them what they were called on the page, so I would like to know what they were. (not sure I had to but he doesn't)

    After you save the registry files, you can then remove the string that you selected on the left which in turn, displays the name userLibraries (on the right side of the page).

    Poof it's finally gone! and always available in your saved folder

  • How to separate my Windows 7 libraries/Homegroup and Windows Media Center the share permissions?

    I used to share media from my laptop Windows 7 for my Xbox 360 and my Windows XP computer using Group residential and everything was great, but I decided to use WMC so I could see more files on my Xbox 360.

    But after you have configured the WMC as Xbox 360 Extender, it reset my permissions and locked the folders that I was sharing with homegroup. After you have unlocked records, he deleted all the files in my library, and anytime I want to share a folder with the homegroup, its in my list of WMC,.

    Whenever I remove a sharing folder in WMC, it resets my home group and locked files. I don't want that.

    At any time, I share a folder to my homegroup, sharing in Windows Media Player (it's a NO!) I don't want that at all)

    WMC can sometimes have trouble sorting files when its comes to 100 and 1000 s, I want to keep my Homegroup library and my library of WMC separate share. Which means I want my homegroup, my library and Windows Media Centers, sharing folders, all sharing the same folders.

    How can I do this?

  • Homegroup asking "Network password" when access to the computers in the homegroup

    I noticed this in the last week or two.  So far, my home group has worked very well.

    I have 2 PC under Windows 7 connected via homegroup, a x 64 final running, the other under Home Premium x 64.  The Home Premium computer is now asked a "network password" then access folders/libraries shared the ultimate computer.  It wasn't a problem before last week.  Until a week ago, I could just click on my homegroup from the Home Premium computer, then click the name of the ultimate computer that appears in the homegroup and finally click on shared folders/libraries and it will open the folder/library.

    Parameters are,

    • Advanced network and sharing Options are all set by default on both including letting Windows HomeGroup connections.
    • Network location is defined on each home.
    • The homegroup password is the same on each.
    • Credential Manager shows [ComputerName] \HomeGroupUser$, correct password and persistence is on each Local computer.
    • The two computers are connected wireless 802.11 g via a Linksys WRT400N router, each using a dynamic IP (DHCP) address.

    Therefore, I can access files/libraries shared the Home Premium to ultimate PC homegroup without being prompted to enter a password for the 'network '.  I can access internet from every computer with no problems.

    I tried to leave the homegroup on each computer, recreated on each homegroup, deleted the files IDStore.sst on each, all to nothing does not.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, I seem to have perhaps fallen on something that may have solved my problem, at least for now.  This morning, I've renamed the full name of the computer to my Home Premium by removing 1 character of existing name.  Of course, I was invited to restart for the changes to take effect.  I restarted and then on the next opening of the next session, I renamed full name of the computer to my Home Premium to what it was originally.  Once, I have been asked to restart for the changes to take effect.  After the reboot, I clicked on my homegroup, and from there I clicked on my ultimate computer that appears in my homegroup.  To my surprise, the shared library icons have been restored to their default appearance; documents, music, photos and video.  I clicked on each of the four libraries and each opened with full (default read-only) access to the content of each library.  I was not invited to a "network password" this time!

    If renaming the name of my Home Premium computer twice, once to a new name and then again its original name did somehow fix the problem, this means that the share of aid to the full name of the computer had some kind become corrupted the previous week?  This could be the reason for the "Network password" prompt?  In any case, my home group is once more working properly between computers in my Home Premium and Ultimate.  Touch wood.

    Hi abratton. Here's a topic that should help you. Find the section "Include a folder on an external hard drive in a library."

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library

    Once you have included the files in a library, then make sure you share this library with your homegroup:

  • Do I have to join a homegroup?

    We have three computers running Windows 7. All three use the same printer (network). I have disabled Documents, photos, music and videos on the page in shared libraries in homegroup. If I uncheck as printer, I lose the possibility to print from any computer? (All records show share with - person.)

    On both computers, the properties / security documents, photos, etc. including Homegroup and comments page.

    On the newer computer, it lists only SYSTEM, Jim and administrators. Apparently because I did not "have any shared libraries."

    I think that all three are so limited. Could accomplish this by "leaving" the homegroup?

    The desktop pc also includes a mysterious "Account unknown" writing, I wonder if I could just select and click on delete?

    You don't have to use the homegroup to share a printer, it makes it just easier by applying all the parameters of the print share automatically instead of manually add a network printer on each computer separately (which may vary but generally involves knowing the IP address of the printer or something, but it can also generally scan and found even that).

    On behalf of strangers, it is hard to say exactly. Your own desires may vary from mine, but my practice is to let the 'administrators' access as a fail-safe. This way even if I myself accidentally lock, an admin can still reach the files.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.
