Resolved Windows 7 Homegroups

hill47 · 2013/02/08

I look after a network of PCs running Windows 7. There are three users on each PC: Manager, User A and User B. Users A and B have basic rights, but Manager has Admin rights.
Whilst logged in as Manager, I have setup a Homegroup on all of the machines.
I am not sure how Homegroup works. Is it a Homegroup for one user only, or can all users share the files belonging to all users?
It is difficult for me to experiment because I manage the machines remotely.

Thanks

Have a look at this Microsoft HomeGroup Video and HomeGroup from start to finish.

I never used it (and never will). I prefer good 'old networking which gives me better access control.
