Windows 7 Sharing problem

[iblisi]

Hello!
I have two computers with windows 7. Desktop is connected through cable and laptop through wireless connection.
I want to share files on desktop. So I have right-click on e: and y: on desktop and set them to be shared.
I see them and I access them with my laptop except for +mp3 directory, which path is e:\+mp3. I tried to share that folder itself but it makes no difference (when shared separatelly it is listed among network places). My advanced sharing settings are:
_ network is home network
_ turn on network discovery
_ turn on file nad printer sharing
_ turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the public folders
_ all the media is clicked under media streaming
_ enable file sharing for devices that uses 40- or 56-bit encryption
_ turn off password procetced sharing
_ allow windows to manage homegroup connections

settings are the same on both computers.

second problem is that I have set to read write and full control in the sharing but I am not allowed to erase files or unpack rar files from laptop.

When I try to delete or unpack file located on desktop using laptop I get this warrning:
you require permission from S-1-5-21-2669962211-865993366-3033801785-500 to make change to this file

What can I do?

It seems like you've configured the basic sharing settings correctly, but there are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot the issues you're facing with sharing files between your Windows 7 desktop and laptop.

Issue 1: Unable to Access "+mp3" Directory​

• Shared Folder Path: E:\+mp3
• Observation: The "+mp3" directory is not accessible from your laptop even though you've shared it.

Issue 2: Permission Error on Deletion/Extraction​

• Error Message: "You require permission from S-1-5-21-2669962211-865993366-3033801785-500 to make changes to this file."
• Observation: You can't delete files or unpack RAR files from the laptop due to permission issues.

Potential Solutions:​

1. Check Permissions:
   • Ensure that the permissions are correctly set for the shared folders on the desktop.
   • Check the security permissions of the folders to see if your user account (or the Everyone group) has the necessary permissions.
   []Owner Configuration:
   • It appears that the error message references a specific user account (S-1-5-21-2669962211-865993366-3033801785-500). This might indicate a problem with ownership.
   • Check and adjust the ownership of the folders and files in question. You may need to take ownership of the files/folders from the Security tab in the Properties menu.
   []Network Discovery:
   • Confirm that network discovery is enabled on both the desktop and laptop.
   • You can do this by going to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings.
   []Firewall and Antivirus:
   • Temporarily disable the firewall and antivirus software on both systems to check if they are causing any blocking issues.
   []Reset Sharing Permissions:
   • Try removing the existing sharing permissions for the folders and recreate them.
   • Make sure that the share permissions align with the folder permissions.
   []Use HomeGroup:
   • If both systems are part of a HomeGroup, ensure that the shares and permissions are correctly configured within the HomeGroup settings.
   []Mapping Network Drives:
   • If you haven't done so already, consider mapping network drives from the laptop to the shared folders on the desktop. This can sometimes help with accessibility.
2. Shared Folder Path:
   • Try sharing the parent folder of "+mp3" to see if it resolves the issue. Sometimes sharing the parent folder rather than the specific subfolder can improve accessibility. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the sharing and permission issues you are facing between your Windows 7 desktop and laptop.
