Editing How to Access Shared Folders in Windows 7



To access shared folders in Windows 7, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key + E on your keyboard or by clicking on the Windows Explorer icon in the taskbar.

2. In the left pane of Windows Explorer, click on the "Network" option. If the "Network" option is not visible, click on the small arrow next to "Computer" to expand the list of options.

3. If your shared folders are located on another computer on the network, you should see that computer's name listed in the "Network" section. Click on the computer's name to view its shared folders.

4. If you are prompted for a username and password, enter the credentials of an account that has permission to access the shared folders on the other computer.

5. Once you have accessed the shared folders, you can copy or move files to or from the shared folders just like you would with any other folder on your computer.

Note: If you are having trouble accessing shared folders on another computer, make sure that file and printer sharing is enabled on both the computer that is sharing the folders and the computer that is trying to access them. You can enable file and printer sharing by going to the Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings.
