WHS Vail Shared Folders are Empty

Question
-
I have connected Computer 1 with shared media to my WHS. The WHS file folders are empty. When I go into my Home Group from Computer 2, I can access the shared files on Computer 1. How do I populate the shared folder on WHS?Thursday, March 3, 2011 5:48 PM

Open the Dashboard and click settings -> Home Group.
If I remember well you can disable it from there.- Theo.

The point is to copy or move the files to the WHS and share them from there.So the files would reside on WHS, and not on Computer 1 or Computer 2.--Dave N.MS-MVP (Mail)Windows 7 Ultimate 64Get it: http://download.live.com/wlmail"Tizi" wrote in messagenews:3c211878-3da1-425e-aa20-f46b07839765@communitybridge.codeplex.com...I have connected Computer 1 with shared media to my WHS.

They are set to read. If I change them to read/write, will I be good to go?

Can I also get rid of my Home Group, since everything will reside on the server? I have the server connected to the Home Group now...Thursday, March 3, 2011 11:28 PM

I don't use Home Group at all and indeed there are problems with Home Group permissions overriding WHS folder permissions.Thursday, March 3, 2011 11:40 PM
