Okay, dumb, stupid, and hopefully quick question. I've been pulling my hair out for about an hour and a half now, trying to do something that should be super simple.  I'm trying to share an external drive of one computer running windows 7 using simple windows 7 file sharing. I share it on the network, and when I try to connect to it from a different windows 7 machine, it tells me: "Windows cannot access \\machine\f. You do not have permission to access \\machine\f. Contact your network administrator to request access." So, I'm sure it's some kind of permissions problem... So, I find that going to Properties >> Security Tab >> Group or User Names, "Everyone" isn't listed as an option. (If I try to share other drives, it works, and "everyone" IS listed as an option.) How do I get "everyone" listed? Or better yet, what the heck am I doing wrong?

The super odd part about that is that the Windows firewall would let me connect to one shared drive on the computer and NOT the other. Super odd, but it works now, so I don't really care.  Thanks for your help.
