Re: Accessing Files on a home network

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My daughter has the Home edition and I have the Pro.

The sharing is handy for her when she wants to scan a file. Scans it on my
computer/scanner, puts the file into a share folder and then goes to her
room and brings it up with one of her programs where she edits, puts it in
another file etc.
