Or I could add a login/password to machine 1?  Might be easier - less
potential problems?

I think that if you reset the networking to home then your other network
settings will be invalidated. The user name and password should be
irrelevant though.

What you could do is use the System Recovery to create a recovery point,
change the settings to Home, try them out, and if you're not happy with it
use system restore to go back to your former method.

John:

Will that home network/passcode feature still work if one of the machines
already user name and password for login?

Yes, I think you are correct Lembit.

With traditional windows peer to peer networking if you set a username and
password to be identical on all machines then share the folders you want
available the sharing becomes transparent. If you have a mix of
Win7/Vista/XP/2k/98/95 then this is the way to go.

If you have all Windows 7 machines the easiest way to go for a home setup is
to use the home networking option. Choose "Home" as the type of network (in
your network connections) and then set up a Home Group. You get a passcode
for the home group. Put that into any piece of (Windows 7 compatible)
equipment that you want to share the material with and everything you
checked is shared through the network as if it's on your computer.

Rocky,
Do you have a password set on both machines? IIRC, you need this in W7. It
won't allow connection to a machine without password.
