Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. In the "How do you want to open this?" popup, there is not an option to browse your pc for another program. It is forcing you to choose from the few programs it lists. I know in previous versions of Windows, there was always an option to browse your pc, but...

I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 about a month ago and I use Outlook 2010 with Google Chrome as my default browser and this was working fine. When I clicked on an email link in Outlook, it opened in Chrome automatically. However, I noticed there was a small Windows update just a few...

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro. On our older Windows 7 Pro pc, I can connect the VPN and then ping with no problem. On the new Windows 8 Pro pc, I can connect the VPN, and it returns: 'pinging servername [73.43...]' so it does show the IP, but then it shows: 'Request timed out.' Packets...

Hi all, I have a new Windows 8 pc and I need to connect to our website's remote SQL Server database. Everything works fine on our older Windows 7 pc's, but on Windows 8 I get a "The server was not found or was not accessible..." error. Our hosting company has us use a VPN in order to connect...

Hi all, I've installed plenty of software and devices on pc's, but I'm a server newbie and I need to try to install a new HP M451dn laser printer on our Windows 7 server for all of our network users to use. I've never installed anything on a server so can anyone recommend a good online...

Philip, I did get it to work finally. I was using the "Share With" menu in Explorer and also in the Right-Click menu. When I right-click on the 'Documents' folder and click Properties, I was able to find the 'Advanced Sharing' option. I followed the steps you provided there and it worked...

Right. I have a User Account "Jack" on both of my 2 pc's similar to you. I understand I need to give the 'PC-A/Jack' user account permission to access the 'PC-B/Jack' folders and vice versa, but I have not been able to do this so far. When I am on PC-A and I right-click the 'Documents'...

I've searched this online, but the solutions I found do not work so hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Scenario: In our office, all of our pc's are on a wireless network, have either Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, and are all assigned to Workgroup: "OFFICE". I have 2 pc's at my desk...

Quite some time ago, someone else setup a share on my work pc, but I can't tell what was shared or who can view it. We have a wireless network in our office and we are all assigned to a Workgroup. I did test 1 other employee's pc and I was able to access my pc's 'Documents' folder so I know...
