Ok, Vista's really making me angry. I like XP, 2000, 98, 95...they all have nice network sharing...
Microsoft decided to implement some dumb user nonsense and force me to share certain folders...it's my computer and I want to share what I want to share!
For one, I want to be able to access shared folders WITHOUT entering a stupid username and/or password ...on ANY computer on my network. I hate the whole "security" nonsense...if I kept any important information on my computer it'd be different, but I don't think it's necessary to lock down my own computers from ...my other computers...which are controlled by me. I don't plan on hacking myself.
So, I want to share "Desktop" (my desktop in Windows Vista) without sharing the entire "Users" folder (the Users folder is stupid, the user system is stupid in my opinion, and why they had to move it from Documents and Settings to Users is beyond me, it just messes up more things). So, every other folder outside of "Users" shares fine, but those inside the Users folder have the dumb "Who owns this folder?" nonsense. I own it...just like I own all the computers on the whole NETWORK! I want to share it with...MY computers, so OF COURSE I OWN IT! How do you implement a "normal" sharing system inside of Users (as in, turn off the nonsense system that Microsoft wanted)?
Also, I can share my own folders, thank you very much, so I don't see why Microsoft shares the Users and Public by default...if you're not smart enough to share your own folders, chances are you probably shouldn't be sharing folders period.
