Anyway, Ill tell you the steps I did, though, I dont really understand how all this works it just does. Torrent Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Training Labs. Some points first, before I give you a step by step. I can always access ALL NETWORK LOCATIONS AND FILES from my Windows 7 x. I often cant access all network locations, etc. XP Pro desktop. I can, but I dont know what I have done to cause this. MY MAIN LAPTOP can access everything on the network all. This probably has something to do with WIN 7 being backwardly compatible with previous hardwaresoftware like XP but NOT THE REVERSE, etc. So, whenever Im doing something involving my network. I try to work top down from the superior. WIN 7 system, etc. OK. heres what I did. I was having and the solution. I often jump between two computers on my network. I wanted to have a notepad file that I use as a daily do list, and I wanted to have its contents change and be in sync, no matter which computer I had. Now, I know THAT CAPABILITY is simply a matter of having it shared on the network. Now I originally created the notepad file on the xp desktop. Then, I went upstairs and found the shared folder I had put it in. I could change the contents of the file in sync between the two computers. Now, the problem came in when from my laptop I could NOT INDEX the shared folder on my desktop. I tried MAPPING the network drive, and IT WOULDNT do it. ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH occurred to me. AND THAT WORKED. INDEXED THE SHARED FOLDER ON THE DESKTOP COMPUTER without mapping the network. YA GOT ME. BUT IT DOES HERES HOW IT WORKS  all below is for WIN 7 X6. XP. this method may work in other cases, too1. I created a notepad file on my xp desktop. Created a folder and named it bingo also. Did a network locations search for this folder and put it in with the other shared foldersfiles in the desktop network location. Went upstairs to my win. Start button and entered favorites without the quotation marks into the little search rectangle that appeared just above the Start button. The Favorites folder appeared at the top of the list. I clicked on it and. Favorites folder opened. I right clicked on the Recent Places folder and created a shortcut on my desktop. Now, whenever I click on any folder or file including the shortcut to bingo. NETWORKED FOLDER  bingo suddenly shows up in Recent Places as a shortcut. THESE SHORTCUTS. CAN BE DELETED since thats all they are. JUST BE SURE you are still in the RECENT PLACES FOLDER. For example  I clicked on a shared network folder and almost deleted it by accident. NOT REALIZING THAT I WAS NO LONGER IN THE Recent Places. Its of course OK to select all and delete all the shortcuts that accumulate over time in the Recent Places folder, etc. Also I set the sort on the Recent Places folder to datetime, so that the most. I have been is always at the top of the list. So, far and this is interesting ONLY FOLDERS SHOW UP in the locations you visit then look for in the Recent Places folder. So, for example, when I click on the shortcut on my win. Recent Places folder. BINGO appears there  not the bingo. I didnt click on the actual folder, just the bingo. Recent Places folder IS ONLY THE NETWORK. FOLDER  d.  Now, the mystery my win. WHEN I DID A SEARCH FOR bingo. I right clicked on it to check the properties thinking the index has just. BUT THE PROPERTIES. IN CONCLUSION  I now have the capability to INDEX foldersfiles ON OTHER NETWORKED COMPUTERS from my win. WITHOUT HAVING TO MAP THE NETWORK DRIVE CURRENTLY ACCESSED. INDIVIDUALLY when I pull up the Bingo. DONT KNOW WHY the index didnt show bingo. I placed a shortcut to the Recent Places folder on my laptop desktop screen. Win 7, etc. but I dont have the time to try an trace it down, or test it, etc. The win 7 indexing system MAY INDEX ANY SHARED FOLDER from another networked computer WHEN ITS BEING ACCESSED LIVE on the win 7 computer. I didnt have to map the network drive but I did have to BE ACCESSING A. FOLDER from another computer for it to INDEX THAT FOLDER. I dont, for example, know whether the INDEX system of my win. IF IT WAS DOING SOMETHING ELSE IN A BRIEF TIME that I was accessing. Win 7 index, from my experience, does seem to give some preference to INDEXING files you have recently or are currently accessing.
