Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on
Hi again, Robert!
You were right in the assumption that a third party software (Lenovo Access
Connections in my case) is the cause of this. I did a system recovery and
removed this software before configuring my network settings. Now everything
is working fine. Once again it has been proven Microsoft rules and others
can't cope with it!
Zillion of thanks for your help, congratulations for your patience and a
large bow to your knowledge!
