    You will need to set up a Homegroup in Win 7 and then allow the Win XP machine accesss. Go to the Control Panel then select Home Group then run the set-up wizard.

    Here's a microsoft link with the details to allow the XP machine access:

    make sure that WORKGROUP in both machines are identical.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    For future reference you can now share Folders/Documents on Windows 7 to XP without putting it in the public folder.

    Wow - took 6 hrs to figure that out

    Paper. Just do all sales on paper and file them away at the end of the day then sort through all the paper at the end of the month and figure out how much you have sold and then put those figures into a ledger and then figure out if the company has gone broke at the end of the year. Simple economics.
