ok now ive been wondering something
technically when u run a "program" it reads/writes files
now a homegroup allows a user to read/write files from another computer on the same network
so in theory couldent
you allow the one computer:mad: to read/write the files from another computer:rolleyes:


so :mad: has files. :rolleyes: runs a program from the homegroup files to launch the program similar to a nas without an nas
if its possible just theoretically explain how if not why not

sorry for punctuation

Depends on the program.

Programs don't all read/write files. Programs load themselves into memory (RAM). So it would have to essentially be a "portable" app that only needs to run from memory, rather than require files or registry entries to be able to run.

ok so for example.
you have a shortcut:mad: why couldent you then just have the target path be from the files that the homegroup computer:rolleyes: shares
 
You could setup local users on each PC and setup permissions for those users and use those user accounts to login to PCs over the network; that way you have a way to more adequately control access permissions.

How IT Works: NTFS Permissions

But the setup best for your needs depends a lot on how you plan to use it and if you need to restrict access to certain resources for certain users.

If the shorcut goes to a path that the user you're logged in as has access to - yes.

But if you hadn't setup access permissions for that user then it would prompt for a login and password of a user that does have those permissions or else display an error box saying you do not have sufficient permissions.
