Windows 7 Windows 7 home networking

[zabel]

to date i have had a home network since windows 95

ENTER THE WORLD OF VISA/WINDOWS 7
1. start > control panel > home group = join home group
2. select what ever you you want to share
3. type in the password ( now comes the problem i never had one ever and my install is about 5 months old)

i got my daughter a lop top for her 18th when i set it up for her this one came up with a password for home network.
so using this password i now have a password for my desktop my laptop and her's.

but i dont want to connect via her lap top i want the network set up on the desk top so back to the desktop step 1,2,3 above as (3) is the only password i have.

All i get is your network must have ipv6 installed into network settings, so into network settings i go and yes it enabled, as far as i know ipv6 is only for large web addresses why do i need this on a home network.
any advice on this problem, thanks

all PC's and lap tops running Windozzz7
god why do microsoft mess things up Xp was a top system

Problem Is

MS support article
How to disable certain Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) components in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\
DisabledComponents, it needs to be set to 0 but after restart just keeps reseting to 255

come people someone out there must be having this problem, according to google they are
but no clear answer even MS support just churns out the same old rubbish.
