Homegroup libraries visible but can't be opened
- by majocha
I have 2 Windows 7 PCs in a home network. When I create a homegroup, the libraries I share are visible on the opposing machine but when I doubleclick them nothing happens - no error message, nothing at all. It is the same on both computers.
The homegroup works to the extent that the printer I shared is visible and can print from the other computer. Only the libraries are inaccessible.
What I tried and checked so far, without result:
disabling firewall
file and printer sharing, MS Networks client enabled in network properties
deleting and recreating homegroup
reset homegroup by deleting C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking
unsharing and sharing again the libraries
