Windows 7 Access XP minimalist method in LAN

In the LAN, the mutual visits between Windows systems can be said to be a "long-standing problem". Many professional network administrators may not be able to quickly resolve a problem where Windows 7 cannot access XP or XP does not have access to Windows 7. But because the cause of the problem is not unique, so when faced with some case problems, the user sometimes will be helpless.

For Windows 7 users on the LAN who cannot see the Windows XP machine, some netizens have given a seemingly "incredible" approach, even a "groundless" approach, but many users think this method is "sometimes very effective":

First, make sure that the workgroup and IP of the current Windows 7 machine are set correctly, and then go to network and sharing Center → advanced sharing settings to set the permission entries, such as Network discovery, network share, to allow or open.

Next, open an inaccessible Windows XP machine, generate a Network Neighborhood shortcut, and copy it to the current Windows 7 system (which you can copy to the desktop). At this point, when you double-click the Windows XP Network Neighborhood shortcut in this Windows 7 system, the current Windows 7 machine is available for normal access.

A lot of Windows 7 users think this method "very good", but there are users after the trial that "did not see the effect." This method is not really easy to use, or simply not useful, I think or let the users encounter such problems to judge more appropriate.
