I'm trying to setup file sharing in my house over 5 pcs. 3 are Win7 (Home Prem) and in the same homegroup. I have no trouble setting up a share for everyone, I cannot however figure out how to share a file for a single user. I keep running into the issue of the pcname\location\domain being off. For example I have a folder on pc1 i want to share for user1. The user rights are shown as \\pc1\user1. When I go to pc2 even though user1 exists I can't ever change over pc2 to pc1 in the credentials. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

If you use the same username/password combo on each system, you shouldn't have any issues like this. I have multiple Windows 7 systems, and I don't even have HomeGroups set up, and don't have any issues. Same when I ran Vista on them all, and XP on all systems.
