This process involves allowing anonymous access to your Windows shares, so don't do this if you're paranoid about security.
1. On the 'Security' tab of your shared folder, give the 'ANONYMOUS LOGON' user account 'Read' & 'List folder contents'.
2. On the 'Share permissions' tab, give the 'ANONYMOUS LOGON' user account 'Read' access.
3. Start > Secpol.msc .... Navigate to 'Local Policies' > 'Security Options' > 'Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously'. Enter the share name. e.g. FamilyMovies. You add one per line for multiple shares.
Job done. No need to uninstall Live Essentials 2011.
Just Tried this and it Works!!!!!! Thanks a lot "orviwan" You just made my night !!!!
