sharing of Printer/Files oner LAN RRS feed

  • Question

  • In Windows XP, If i wanted to share my drive or printer, i would simply tick "share" and it was enough.

    In windows 7,8 or 10 it has been headache for years for me to share my drive or Printer over LAN. i have check the share option but it is still not showing on other PCs on LAN.

    I tried Microsoft Phone support, but they were also unable to help as well. 

    Can anybody from microsoft help ??

  • Hello,

    The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

    As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.
