i don’t know if this is solved or not, but i just spent the past couple of hours trudging through a bunch of websites. 😆 it tired me out. BUT! i think i have an answer for your problem, xichael. i found that by going to the folder’s properties, going to the sharing tab, selecting advanced sharing, ticking the share this folder check box, then going to permissions, and enabling full control for an “Everyone” group that you add does the trick. I am running 7 as well. I did all this without changing anything in the system, and i’m currently streaming Shrek 2. I hope that this helps you out with your problem. If this DOESN’T help….. well crap. 😥
