A instant ago I worked on a Windows XP system that show a related trouble: It would not allow me make a connection to its shares network at the same time as I was logged on as Administrator on a Windows 7 system. The trouble was cause by means of the overprotective Norton program on the Windows XP machine. Later than disabling each and every of its components all the way through msconfig.exe, I may possibly gladly join to Windows XP allocate such as Windows XP\Data. You have to, certainly, ensure that the distribute permissions are set appropriately.

While searching on net I found this thread I have tried this solution on my PC, when I click Administrative Tools, the after that menu does not have an choice of "Local Security Policy". Does anybody make out what I am doing incorrect, or why this is?
