I have windows xp set up on all my computer on my home network. I use simple file sharing since I want to do in terms of file sharing is the ability to read from other computers easily. I just got a laptop from my college and they seems to have an entirely different networking setup on it. It is running Windows XP Version 2002, just like my other computers, yet it will not let me select simple file sharing. When I go to Folder Options the box for simple file sharing is checked and no matter if I check it or uncheck it, it will not switch to simple.
How can I undo this problem? I just want to be able to view files on my laptop without using a password and I want to be able to use my laptop to be able to view files without entering a password for other computers. Any communication to or from the laptop requires a domain\name and password to be entered. I am new to networking with XP so please help me!
