Sharing Windows 7 folder is such a pain because Microsoft has changed a lot of default setting, mainly for the security reason, I think. But that made it so difficult to share a folder on Windows 7.

Windows 7 to Windows 7

Usually, Windows 7 to Windows 7 sharing is straightforward.

Configuration

The following is the base configuration.

Sony has decided not to support the model of my laptop.

I use a laptop at work, and one at home (this is my own). Both have 2GB of memory, but I use many heavy applications at the same time, so I tried Windows ReadyBoost feature.

ReadyBoost on Vista

Windows 7 seems a hot topic nowadays, so I installed its RC version. According to some articles, it is much lighter and responsive compared to Vista.

Testbed

The PC I used is Sony VGN-SZ430N, which came with pre-installed Vista Business.
