Hi,
This is probably simple enough, but I've Googled the topic to death with little success.
I'm sharing a few folders between two computers (both Windows 7) on my home network. The folders are each set to be shared with "Everyone."
Let's call the two computers/users Jack and Jill. What I'd like to do: only allow Jill to access Jack's shares, and vice-versa -- excluding any other computers on the network. Is this possible?
(Note: When modifying the user permissions of the shared folders, users on other computers are not presented for me to choose. I've attempted to create user accounts on each computer, with names corresponding to the user accounts of the other, but that didn't work. Thus! my only workable option right now is "Everyone.")
We're dealing with 7 Starter, unfortunately, on both computers (so no homegroups).
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
