[QUOTE="snowshed, post: 1535539, member: 300043"] I don't have what I want, but I can at least get files moved/copied when and where I want them. The only Windows OS that works the way I want it to with Mountain Lion is XP. This is the only OS where I can be using XP and access the Mac via the network icon in Windows Explorer, and only see the shared folders. (I currently don't have any folders where some files are shared and some are not.) Using Vista, Win7, and Win8, I have to use the Run command as mentioned in two of the articles you mentioned. The downside of using the Run command is the sharing settings of folders and drives/partitions on the Mac are totally ignored. Since I'm the only user of the computers, security issues of this are not a high priority, but if there were other users, and I didn't want them to have access to the boot drive/partition for instance, this is not a good solution. Networking between the Windows computers was a piece of cake. If you've got any more suggestions or questions, I'll be happy to reply. I consider the current way I've managed to get things done to be a step backwards in computing time, not what it should be today. [/QUOTE]
