Can someone point me to some good documentation regarding file sharing permissions in W 7 or W8? For example, what is an "object"? I wanted to authorize hp7250/myid on my old W7 box to access my C drive in my W 8 box. No matter what "object name" I enter, it tells me it cannot be found. Also in "locations" it only shows me the name of the box I'm on, none of the others in my network. I've read the Microsoft helps, no help there. I've got several books on W 7, none of them explain this stuff satisfactorily. I had all sorts of sharing on my W7 boxes but since I got a new W8 computer, I'm going nuts because it seems that anything that worked on W7 no longer works, or works differently on W8. My W7 boxes can access each other's C: drives. I bought a new W8 box, it could access one W7 C: drive but not the other. That computer was defective ( card reader didn't work) so I took it back and replaced it with another (bigger, faster model, both running 64 bit W8). This new one can now access NEITHER C: drives on my W7 boxes. Windows 8 is driving me insane. Wait, I think I'm already there. I need help!
