"Your folder can't be shared":

(1/4) > >>

So I got the zeroaccess virus and cleaned it up using a few tools, and it left my windows firewall and update service a bit broken. So I ran the all in one solution from this website, but now my folders can no longer be shared with the homegroup (both machines running win7).

I just get the unhelpful error message "Your folder can't be shared". My user is the owner of the folder.

My Control Panel Settings (Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced Sharing Settings) are:
Network discovery ON
 File and printer sharking ON
Public folder sharing ON
Media streaming OFF
128-bit encryption Password protection OFF

I am finding a lot of info on this error. So lets start trying a few things :wink:

First lets try this,

Let me know how it goes :cheesy:

Unfortunately that's not the problem - I ran the troubleshooter on both machines and it didn't come up with the same problem that guy had.

I've googled this a bit too and tried a bunch of solution and have come up empty :(

Shane:
Have you tried doing the advanced sharing yet?

Shane

mathewb:
I've shared it and given full control to "Everyone", now the other machine can see it but says it doesn't have permission to view its contents.
