First of all, I want to thanks all of those guys who read my blog (Articles) for education, troubleshooting or reference. Thanks all of you once again.

Shared Folder

Now back to business, we are here today to create a shared folder in windows 10, 8.1, 7 without password. Which means a client can access a folder without password.  

I recommend all you guys do not create this scenario if your data is highly important and sensitive.

We need some things configured in computer where the share folder is created. Make sure your IP configuration settings, LAN connectivity between clients and server, you should have admin credentials for doing this.

Create a folder and give it a desired name.

Right click on folder and choose Properties and select Sharing tab.

 Click on Advanced Sharing button the Advanced Sharing window will open.

Click on Share this folder and make sure it has tick mark after clicking.

Give name, this will be your share name.

Click on Permissions button, then click on Add, Type Everyone and click on OK.
