[dba-Tech] Workgroup password

[Heenan, Lambert]

Maybe this on-line fix-it will do the trick. It says "applies to Windows 7", but it might be good for 10 too.

Also, this YouTube video suggests it's a problem with a service being disabled

Thanks, Lambert. Unfortunately, now I have a deeper puzzle. I tried to join the homegroup (which was created on my desktop) from my laptop; pasted in the password, and received the message "Windows can't set up a homegroup on this computer." I ran the homegroup troubleshooter, which was no help at all.

The peculiar (well, to me, at least) is that when I run Windows Explorer, and click Network, I can see the other computer, but I can't access it. I am asked for a name and password. These are the same on both computers.

Some months back I had this working. But then I had to replace the hard disk in my laptop and since then, I can't make it work correctly.
