File sharing Windows 7 with XP
I am trying to share files through the Workgroup network with a computer running XP. The XP computer can map to and access the shared folder, but cannot reach any sub folders or the files in any sub folders. How can I correct this?

Hi Sandpoint, I would like to confirm what error message was encountered? I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to check the issue. Check the sharing permissions ============================= 1. Right click on the folder you want to share and click “Properties”. 2. Click the “Security” tab and “Edit” button. 3. Click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 4. Highlight “Everyone”, check “Full Control” for “Allow” and click “OK”. 5. Click “Sharing” tab and “Advanced Sharing” button. 6. Check “Share this folder” box, click “Permissions” button. 7. If “Everyone” is listed, please highlight it and check “Full Control” for “Allow” 8. If “Everyone” is not listed, please click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 9. After that, please repeat the Step 7. What’s the result? Regards,Arthur Li - MSFT
