The whole Windows range was effectively merged with Windows Vista as NT v6 and onwards. As you should know, Windows NT became the core of Windows 2000 aka NT v5 and then Windows XP as NT 5.1. The truth is that the networking that exists inside all of Microsoft's current products is the same underlying system that was built into Windows NT back in 1993. So you can pick and choose depending on how tiered you want to make your file sharing access. Besides, once you've nailed the more complex systems, they work with and are the Homegroup system anyway. So why when Microsoft goes to all that time and trouble to provide an easy route, should you care to learn the hard way? Frankly because it offers far more flexibility for a little more investment of your time.
Network file sharing full#
For complete control you want to unleash the full Windows network file sharing. Like we said, Homegroup is fine if you're seeking the basic control. Let's not also forget the ability to limit, monitor and revoke access too.
It's a reassuringly complex system, which once you understand the basic elements, is easy to deploy with total control, allowing you to decide who, how and exactly what is shared and accessible over your network. That's the key here - not only does it arm you with the knowledge to twiddle with network shares on Windows 7, but without too many complications, everything from Windows NT, XP Server right through to Vista and Windows 8.
