Is Zelda:SS really that terrible, or is it an over-exaggeration?
It's not just the controls either, though I am certainly not a fan of them. At least some people enjoy the game, but to call it the best in the series is just an insult to all of the truly great games in the series that have come before.

Depends where you get your information. Why not just play it yourself and be your own judge? Instead of asking others to form an opinion for you.

over-exaggeration. it's not bad. just all the hunting for items to upgrade items and visiting the same areas over and over and over.
I have the game. It´s very addictive and the story is great. The controls are good but sometimes I get pissed with the game not responding as I want. In the part where you are in the ship there´s a door which you have to hit in a specific sequence to open it. The next 10 minutes, I was there groaning because the control wasn´t doing the slash I wanted and the door would not open. Aside from that, one of the best Zelda games I have played. I like the art style and the story of TP, but the grand prize is for WW for me.
It's a total over-exaggeration. I really did like the game, but it did have some faults (as does every Zelda game.) It was a bit too linear, I felt that the ground-world should have been interconnected, and the sky was a bit too empty. The motion controls were absolutely fine, anyone who had issues with them either did not understand the centring mechanism (when you pull out an item it centres, and you can centre at any time by pushing the d-pad down) or had broken arms.

Over exaggeration, every new Zelda game always gets the shaft by the most vocal section of the fanbase at large. It usually takes a new Zelda game to come out for the previous game to be redeemed in the eyes of the fans, which is of course, lunacy.

It's a solid 7/10 or 6/10.
slightly better then average but nothing outstanding

It's easily and without contest the worst of the 3D Zelda games. For a myriad of reasons (terrible controls, overuse of those controls, Fi, boring exploration, annoying filler, the game retelling you about every item each time you play the game, some boring dungeons, reused bosses, only one good song, etc) it is the one Zelda game I just can't see myself every playing again.

Now youve just devolved into trolling. Constantly repeating the same thing and calling people liars and trying to downplay a legitimate issue with gaming in general, but especially of the Zelda fanbase. As for the Zelda cycle, myself and many people here and on other sites over the years have witnessed it, over the years.Granted, its not exclusive to Zelda, but it DOES affect it amongst the hardest.
"Legitimate issues in gaming"? You are a complete joke. Sexism and poor work conditions are legitimate issues in the game industry. Made-up strawman arguments that is on made on messages boards aren't.
The "Zelda cycle" doesn't exist, because more than half of this topic is people defending and praising this game, as every other topic about it. There are many fans that dislike previous 3D Zeldas, so your entire argument is thrown out the goddamn window. The fact you're even bringing up this supposed cycle is contradictory in of itself. Seriously, accusing me of trolling? lmao.
Metroid isn't praised for it's backtracking, and again, you have absolute no proof that that is the case. Metroid's backtracking is its biggest criticism, what in the hell are you talking about? And SS is a much worse with it, where with Metroid, you're backtracking minutes at a time, you actually spend hours and hours going back to these three bland, generic areas.
People have legitimate issues with the game, and it comes down to game design choices amd pet peeves. Some don't mind them (you), some people HATE them (me). I'm saying is this bull**** "Zelda Cycle" does not exist, and it's disrespectful to dismiss someone's opinion throwing out that strawman.
And I didn't have problems with the controls, I loved them actually. One of the few positives with the game.

I'd really like an honest non-biased answer to this, because I've been thinking of getting it to get an extra fill of Zelda-like games (I do have DS 2, but I'd like another game of that style when I get done with that). Already have Zelda:TP.
I'd say it's an 8.5. Go play it
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

I give it 3,5
This game have good graphics and sound. Not much background music though, sometimes totally quiet. The voice overs could have been better and the lip syncing was not good at all.
I didn't think that the story line was fantastic, but not horrible either. There isn't much to complain about, everything went smoothly. I found it mostly relaxing.
The hidden objects are interactive lists and the mini games are mostly not very difficult.
The jumpable map shows available tasks and I didn't use the hint so I don't know what it's like.
There are 66 morphing objects, also hidden in the hidden objects scenes and many other different collectables, like origamis, butterflies etc. The bonus game continues where the main game ended.
I finished both games in about 4 hours, so the length isn't something to brag about.
I recommend this game to people who like games that are dark, but not so scary. Also to those who want some relaxing hours with a game that doesn't make your brain overheated.

Great food! Desert as well! The steak is perfectly cooked and the potatoes are are so tasty! The maple glazed carets are to die for! Great service, nice and friendly.😄😄 so happy about how good the service was!
The salmon and braised leeks were amazing! the roll they brought me was so dry though I nearly choked. I think for such a nice establishment the least they could have is rolls or buns for burgers, or not add flour to the chowder so it is also gluten free! The dessert was also amazing ! Not a full menu if you are not a steak lover.
Good options. The steak was great. The maple syrup glazed kohlrabi was fabulous. The mashed potatoes were over whipped and way over salted.
Full gluten free menu. An unexpected bonus was that I was brought a fluffy gluten free roll! The food was very good. I had chicken in a delicious sauce, with carrots and mashed potatoes.
Amazing atmosphere. Food was perfect! Very GF friendly and all the staff are very trained on cross contamination. Manager is GF so she is very aware of making sure everyone is taken care of. We have a very hard time finding a good GF soups, these guys nailed it. Highly recommend for a nice night out to dinner.
Excellent food and service! Wait staff is very aware of ingredients and knowledgeable. One of our favorite restaurants.
Love it ☺
Excellent. Chips are not gluten free though.
Great food and service. Wait staff very knowledgeable on being gluten free.
Great GF food- I was told the chips were not GF...better double check next time you go!
Excellent food and full g-f menu. Homemade chips in place of bread is a nice touch. Be sure to ask for them if your server forgets to offer. Staff v. sensitive to food allergies.

Warm Weather Pace Adjustments -> Don't Fight It
The summer heat and humidity has arrived in the northeast and running has been a hot, sticky mess lately.
I always seem to start out overly confident of my ability to run through the humid weather each year and I try to fight it. And it usually takes only one long run to knock me upside the head and remind me of how much control the weather has over my pace.
I did an easy paced 15 miler two weekends ago. It was my longest run post-Boston – and the heat and humidity chewed me up. If I'm being honest, it was one of those runs where I knew that I should slow down – I could feel the stickiness in the air and knew that the pace I was running would not be sustainable. The pace felt easy and manageable early on, but I had that little voice in my head telling me to just slow down and take it a bit easier. But I held on to that little bit of hope that today, THIS day, would be different and that the voice in my head was wrong. It wasn't.
I didn't start the run until 8am. It was already almost 80, humid and sunny. Not ideal but life comes first – we were up late with the boys at a neighbor's bbq and I had no desire to get up before it was necessary. I also thought that I would be able to get the 15 miles in with no water. Not smart. As I talked about a couple of weeks ago in this post, this would be no issue during the winter, but I sweat too much during the summer for me to even make it past 12 miles without water.

Getting Started with Twitter Analytics/
The Cool Thing That Prompted This Post
A cool thing happened this week and spawned the idea for this week's blog post. I started noticing that users who use Sumall.com for their analytics were using those analytics to thank their top retweeters. The auto-generated tweet gives a cute little image with an automated thank you to the best retweeter or top follower etc. It's the first time I've seen this done with a suitable image. Here's an example:
The other factor was that my own thank you came from Andrew MaCarthy, the author of the bestselling 500 Social Media Marketing Tips book. So I was one of his 'best retweeters' this week. Nice.
For one thing, it reminded me that it's best only to retweet something that you find credible, interesting or generally tweet-worthy for your industry. And for another, I was flattered. I mean, he's not a bestselling author for nothing: his book is REALLY good. If you're learning something online that you're not sure stacks up either analytically or intuitively, his book is a great cross-reference point with tried and tested common sense strategies.
I like the idea of publishing your stats as a marketing tool in themselves and including the people who put you there. More mentions whilst you're at it: bonus.
If you don't have an account with Sumall.com then the free version of http://www.retweetrank.com/ is one tool you can use to check your best retweeter. As with any of these tools, the free versions are pretty good but there's always a hook that will make you want to sign up to their pro version, for example where most of your mentions came from. You may have hunches about your most frequent retweeters or mentioners, but sometimes raw data proves startling.
As for other Twitter Analytics?
Twitter's own analytics are brilliant. To check your own, just make sure you're signed into Twitter, then open a new tab and type Twitter Analytics. There's a whole page of interesting data available. You can drill down from your dashboard to view engagement rate, impressions earned, graphs of likes per day, audience features by interest and a whole host of other facts. Here are some of my stats so you can see the type of thing available (and have a nosey at @ZebraConsulting's performance)
Geographical location of audience
How is your audience logging on to your account? This may help to ensure your images are suitable for viewing
The next one made me glad I hadn't gone all pink with my branding
Modest stats here. I could argue I'm too busy with client's likes, but hey it's early days
This could help to keep your tweets focussed on what your audience wants to read about
This is cool. I shamelessly used this to thank her for being my top follower
So, do check out your own analytics and let me know if you find anything surprising.
I use Tweepi.com which is like a very powerful database for sorting your Twitter followers and followees. It shows you at a glance which of your followers are inactive, which are the most active, when they last tweeted, the geographical area they come from. You can basically sort by any criteria. You can quickly unfollow any undesirables or add relevant people to lists. It's only £6.17 per month when you pay for an annual subscription. They discontinued the service of unfollowing those who do not follow you fairly recently, however, I still think it's a good service.
Your homework this week is to review your Twitter Analytics. Also for the curious and time-rich (as if!) have a go at Googling which analytical tools are available to provide the information you really want. If freebie versions are not explicit then cross check your sources by taking a look at reviews combined with 'how to' users guides on YouTube for more information.
What do Analytics mean for your strategy?
Interesting they might be, but once you have some stats to play with, please follow it through to conclusion by interpreting what this means for your social media strategy.
What goals are you setting for next month? Make sure all your goals are SMART, that is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time-Based.
Any questions? Just get in touch!

Sound Transit board reinstates engineering funding for light rail into downtown Redmond
East Link, the planned Sound Transit link light rail system coming to Redmond and the Eastside, is one step closer to reality.
On Thursday, after the Reporter's deadline, the Sound Transit board of directors was scheduled to approve a budget amendment authorizing the reinstatement of funding for engineering on the last segment of the route from Overlake into downtown Redmond.
Redmond Mayor John Marchione, who is a member of the Sound Transit board, said engineering is the final step taken before construction begins.
The dollar amount to be reinstated to cover the Redmond extension is $28.6 million, of which $4.1 million will be for 2016.
Marchione is one of three Eastside representatives sitting on the Sound Transit 18-member board. The other two board members are City of Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler and newly elected King County Council member Claudia Balducci.
Marchione said the funding was originally approved in 2007, but when the recession hit and Sound Transit saw a 35 percent drop in revenue in 2009, things had to be scaled back. Overall, planning and engineering work was reduced in order for the regional transit system to deliver services, he said.
The Redmond extension will be part of Sound Transit 3 (ST3), a ballot measure scheduled for November that represents the next set of mass transit investments for the region. Marchione said construction costs for the three-mile Redmond extension from the Overlake Transit Center into downtown will be about $650 million.
In addition to approving funding to build the East Link portion in Redmond, Marchione said another major portion of ST3 is an investment in light rail in Federal Way.
He added that ST3 was originally scheduled for 2020 but they were able to accelerate things. And if things are approved and on schedule, light rail could be coming to downtown Redmond as early as 2025 — about seven years earlier than originally planned and only two years after it is scheduled to come to Overlake.
"It's a big step," Marchione said about reinstating the funding.
He said much of the work is done already: The route has already been determined; the required environmental reviews are complete and the project has already received federal approval.
Along with the route, locations for light rail stations have also been determined. Marchione said there are planned stations in downtown, behind the Half Price Books store along the Redmond Central Connector and one just east of Marymoor Park, where State Route 520 "starts to bend."
Marchione said there will are also plans for a park and ride in southeast Redmond, which will have 1,600 stalls — about 4-5 times bigger than the downtown Redmond and Overlake transit centers, which have 325 and 350 stalls, respectively.
Marchione said he began working with Sound Transit staff about a year ago on figuring out what needed to be done to reinstate the engineer for the Redmond project.
"This will add another transportation option in downtown Redmond," he said about light rail.
Marchione added that East Link, which would also connect riders to downtown Seattle and the University District, will be significant for the Eastside because Redmond has about 84,000 jobs within its city limits and about 59,000 residents. The city's daytime population is about 120,000.
"We practically double every morning," Marchione said.
By having a light rail system, he said, it eases some of the burden on the area's freeway system by taking cars off the road, which will help with the growth that is already happening and planned for the region.

The Cincinnati Bengals hit the playoffs last season hopes are high that they'll post back to back appearances and make this a regular occasion. There's a good chance they can make that happen. Quarterback Andy Dalton showed surprising poise in his rookie year and his continued development along with A.J. Green is a sign of good things to come. But now that's he's got some talent to work with, Head Coach Marvin Lewis has to make hay while the sun shines. He's been toiling away for awhile now and if the Bengals don't make significant progress in 2012 Lewis could be handed his walking papers.
Progress is being made along those lines. Cincinnati signed Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, offering the Bengals a chance at improving their running game. It would be awfully nice to field a few more guys who are a threat to catch the ball though. Green is the focus of every secondary and Tight End Jermaine Gresham, though an able player in the passing game, isn't explosive enough to create big plays. The return of Jordan Shipley will help and management brought in a pair of young receivers via the draft. Some changes along the offensive line have to be worked out but the Bengals offense is good enough to win games.
Keeping opposing offenses in check is the next step for the Cincinnati Bengals. Their defensive line is deep but not immensely talented. But with plenty of interchangeable pieces the Bengals tend to wear opponents out over the course of a game. Linebacker is solid with Manny Lawson and Thomas Howard manning the outside positions and Ray Maualaga on the inside. What's going to happen in the secondary could be crucial. The draft yielded Dre Kirkpatrick out of Alabama to play corner and he could be pressed into service quickly. If Leon Hall is recovered from injury, the positions are set. Reggie Nelson at safety is a proven player.
Bengals ticket holders got a playoff spot as a reward for their endurance in 2011. Bu they didn't get an overpowering team. Cincinnati struggled against better teams and eked out wins over lesser talent to finish at 9-7. If they want to end the trend of one and done they need to step up in 2012.

Grab a Date and Get Lit
Trying to find an unconventionally romantic date night? Try a sunset tour of the historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse (Lighthouse Park, 500 Captain Armour's Way, Jupiter). At dusk, small groups are led up a spiral staircase to the watchroom, thats where the visual display begins. Due to the fickle Florida weather, you never know what spectacle you might encounter: a deep shot of blue blended with brilliant silver, or the red and purple of far off thunderheads. If youre lucky you might even see some wildlife in the fading light, since stingrays and manatee have been spotted at high tide.
When the sun disappears youll catch a rare slice of Florida history as the eight-foot, beehive-shaped beacon grinds to life. The heavy machinery turns a first-class Fresnel lens, a beautiful work of industrial art purchased from France in the eighteen fifties. The beam it sends out can be seen for more than twenty miles and the red brick that holds it up was stuck together during the Third Seminole War. Culture and romance? Yes, but only with a reservation, so call 561.747.8380 ext. 110. Tickets cost $15.

We loved our stay here! The staff was friendly, only one guy spoke good English. But the others were friendly. The rooms were neat, the rooftop had a great view at night. Overall, we would definitely stay here again if we were back in Yangshou.

Decent hostel, only stayed one night - major complaint is that there are no directions provided at all (no email sent with booking), as a result I wasted a lot of time and effort finding the hostel. Could easily be fixed. Dorm was large and staff were friendly, beautiful dog here too.

I hadn't stayed in a hostel for about 4 months before I came to 131 and it instantly reminded me of why I miss hostels and made me want to go backpacking again. The rooftop gives you a perfect view of the gorgeous mountains surrounding the beautiful town. The hostel is located so nicely that I don't even know how I got back I just woke up in bed. Awesome experience and hopefully I can do it again before I have to leave the country for good.

Great location and not expensive. Beds are sooo comfortable. But it smelled like smoke and wet dog downstairs. Key to locker didn't work. The staff was friendly but didn't speak much English, so they couldn't really help me organize any tours. They told me to go talk to some tour places around town - when I went those places, the tour people didn't speak English. Bathroom was dirty - I had to ask for more toilet paper. Staff did help me rent a bike and set up bus ride back to the airport.

This hostel had the most comfortable beds that I have ever experienced, in a hostel in the US or in any other country. They felt like clouds! The overall atmosphere of the hostel was a bit crowded - even in the public areas there were rooms full of boxes and random furniture stacked almost to the ceiling and gave a general impression of clutter. It didn't make us want to hang out there very much. The location of the hostel was great, central to nightlife and the staff was helpful. Recommended!

I LOVED this recipe!! I quartered it to make one portion, using 2 T Splenda, 1 T whole wheat flour, 1 T oat bran instead of white flour, 2 T soy milk, 1/4 t baking powder, and just a dash of salt. I used 1/4 c of fresh blueberries which I stuck in the freezer while I was prepping everything else; obviously they weren't FROZEN, but it worked out well enough! Oddly, I didn't find that I had to decrease the baking time by much; it took about half an hour. Thanks for posting!
I used wild blueberries here and this was just perfect in sweetness. a keeper
Very tasty & VERY fast & easy. Made for the Topic of the Moth 5/08 - salads & berries.

Live: Scott Weiland Is Full Of Strange Merriment At The P.C. Richard & Son Theater
Better than: Losing The Drummer Boy Challenge.
The P.C. Richard and Son Theater is a small venue with a capacity of maybe 200 people at most; its size can make the space seem like a compressed TV studio. Last night, during Scott Weiland's show there, a camera rolled gently along a track to the right of the crowd, presumably to document some sort of rising action. Another camera was stationed just below the elevated VIP section, a fixed perspective. "This is being filmed," Weiland said mid-show, addressing an audience member who had passed a Christmas gift (of David Bowie DVDs) up to the stage. "So we are filming a montage of you right now."
Weiland's new record of Christmas songs, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, is an elaboration of his 2006 Tonight performance of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." He rendered the song classically: jazz guitar and drums, expressive strings. Last night, he stayed in that style, his set splitting the difference between songs from Wonderful and selections from the rock albums in his back catalog. ("Vasoline" in particular approached a kind of hard-bop. He danced in his old way, a sort of boneless shimmying, but it was muted and weary. The crowd reacted as if someone had removed half of the gravity from the room.)
"I have a totally newfound respect for these jazz players," Weiland said, looking sort of overwhelmed by his backing musicians. "Being in a rock and roll band and having sang rock and roll, I've always loved this music." He approached the Christmas songs as Frank Sinatra would, in a sort of low, crooning baritone. There's an unfortunate weakness to Weiland's voice, thougha simple lack of power required by the material. Perhaps to compensate, he frequently employed a vibrato that was really more of an oscillation through all the off-notes in creation. "It's one thing to sing along to this music," Weiland admitted. "It's another thing to actually do it."

But the absurd nature of the show allowed for strange and loose moments. At one point Weiland and the band improvised, with Weiland elaborating the distance between the ages 24 and 44 and how meaningful that distance can seem when you are a rock star. "Family's forever/ no matter what happens," he sang, secured maybe finally by a private realm into which he can retreat. Maybe he was actually there. "Everyone has their memories of the holiday and their family, and they're really worthwhile," he said, free-associating in a way that would gradually define the whole showcase. "[The Most Wonderful Time of the Year] isn't a Christmas album. It's a holiday album." He mentioned the troops, suddenly: "We dedicate this record to them."
The improv ended on a weird unsettled jazz guitar chord and Weiland, animated for the first time all evening, announced, "We just made up a musical!" He cotinued: "We need to make our own musical. Ever since I saw Hedwig and Rent in the early '90s... that's my generation." A pause. "Pete Townshend!" It seemed as if Weiland was locked in the '90s, reporting from there with pure artifacts of a less fractured culture, while presently performing Christmas standards with a jazz band.
Weiland can't actually contain a duality (consider his career, in which he is either high or sober, anarchically in a band or gently solo) and so the crowd couldn't receive one without some cognitive distortion. At the show's end, an audience member, as if in search of an actual feeling inspired by the performance, said, "Well, that happened."
The only self-assured component of the show was the lighting, which was impressive and overbearing and certainly televisual. The Christmas lights were set like weird luminous teeth on the stage, and the spotlights shifted from red to green in order to signify the Christmas songs. Eventually they turned a generic rock yellow, which panned across the small crowd expressively and insistently, as if unwilling to acknowledge any kind of darkness or shading. Weiland danced sluggishly into the lights and was suddenly clean of any ambiguitiesan artifact himself.
Critical bias: No matter what, I am going to be sort of imaginatively intrigued by a jazzy interpretation of "Vasoline."
Overheard: "Definitely high."
Random notebook dump: An account of the PA music before the show: John Cougar Mellencamp, "Small Town"; Arcade Fire, "Ready to Start"; Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; Alice in Chains, "Man in the Box"; Soundgarden, "Black Hole Sun"; Boston, "More than a Feeling." Pretty sure this is precisely how to lull a crowd into nostalgia and confusion.

Windows Networking: Troubleshooting Tips
Households are increasingly becoming multiple-PC homes. And as people add extra PCs to a home, they naturally want to share files between those systems. Typical multi-PC households also tend to have different operating systems; you may have a business laptop still running Windows XP, for instance, as well as an older media-center system using Vista and a Windows 7 computer that serves as a shared resource or specializes in gaming. Getting such disparate machines to talk to one another can be daunting.
In this article, we'll examine how to troubleshoot some common Windows networking problems. Let's start with basic connectivity troubleshooting.
Connecting to Your Network
You'll typically have network-connection issues when you fire up a new computer or upgrade to a new version of Windows. The lack of a network connection has no single cause, so here's a look at several potential problems and solutions.
Problems after upgrading Windows: Installing a new version of Windows on your system can wreak havoc on network connections. You may encounter different issues, depending on whether you upgraded or performed a clean install.
If you've upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7, it's possible that you'll simply need to reinstall the drivers for your networking hardware; that is more often the case if your connection is Wi-Fi rather than wired. The best approach is to download the new drivers from the Website of the motherboard or system manufacturer prior to performing the OS upgrade--but if you forgot to do that, the driver CD that came with your system or motherboard will very likely have drivers that work, even if they aren't the most current versions.
IPv6 versus IPv4: I've run into this bizarre problem several times with new system installs. IPv4 (or IP version 4) is the Internet protocol addressing system most commonly used today. You may have seen articles proclaiming that the world is running out of IP addresses. Those are IPv4 addresses. The new system is IPv6, but it still isn't in common use.
My main production PC and my Windows Home Server were both running only IPv4. A new Windows 7 install, which I performed on one of the systems, implements both IPv6 and IPv4. You would think that a machine running both the IPv6 and IPv4 protocols could connect to a system running only IPv4, but for whatever reason, that wasn't the case: The PC running both protocols would simply not connect to the one running only IPv4. At first, I simply deleted IPv6 from the new system. After this problem occurred several times, I wised up--and all my systems are now running both IPv6 and IPv4.
Laptop fails to connect: About 90 percent of the time, this happens because your laptop's Wi-Fi hardware is turned off.
Many laptops have an actual physical switch on the side that turns the wireless hardware on or off to save battery life. On some models it's a touch-sensitive button near the keyboard that resembles an activity light but is also the control for powering up the various radios in your laptop. The least-obvious kind are "soft" switches--applications that you need to run to enable or disable the wireless radios.
If you can't connect, the Windows network troubleshooter will typically launch; if it does, just follow the prompts. If the troubleshooter tells you that the laptop's wireless hardware is turned off, you'll have to figure out how to turn the radios back on. The method will vary from system to system. If the switch is a soft switch (a software utility), sometimes the Windows troubleshooter can turn the radios on for you. You'll have to deal with a physical switch yourself, of course.
The other 10 percent of the time, you're trying to connect over a wired network, but can't. The cause: Lots of laptops disable wired networking to save juice if you haven't plugged them into the wall. The solution here is to connect the power brick. If you can't do that, you'll need to enable wired networking manually in the Windows power management control panel, which you can find in the 'System and Security' control panel applet.
Sharing Files in Windows
All you want to do is share a few files between machines. Or maybe you want to copy files from one system to another. But you can't seem to actually move files around the network, even if networking seems to be functioning properly. Here are a couple of fixes.
Password hell: So you bring up your spiffy new Windows 7 install. Everything seems to be working. Windows 7 sees the other systems in your network, and everything looks good. So you try to connect to another PC, and you get something like the screenshot to the right.
You could simply log in as the user on the target system, but that might not work--even if you know that login and password. You may have never created a password for the target system. If you need the security on your network, you'll want to maintain the login authentication when connecting to other networked systems. If you're using Windows Home Server, you'll want to have a login for each user on the network.
If you're not using WHS, or if you don't need the security, you can always enable Windows Simple File Sharing. Bear in mind that you're giving up considerable security if you do this, but if all your systems are behind a hardware firewall on a router, you should be okay.
To enable simple file sharing, first make sure that Windows File and Printer Sharing is enabled in the Local Area Connection Properties control panel.
Next, bring up the Windows 'Network and Sharing Center' (one of the Windows panels). Click the Change advanced sharing settings link in the left panel.
Once you get to the advanced-networking panel, make sure that several radio buttons are turned on. You'll definitely want network discovery (so that you can see other systems) and file and printer sharing enabled. If you want simple file sharing, you should disable password-protected sharing by clicking the Turn off password protected sharing button.
Disabling login for Windows Home Server: Again, if you happen to be using Windows Home Server, you can't really take advantage of simple file sharing. WHS requires user accounts, logins, and passwords. On the other hand, the annoyance of having to log in every time you connect--especially if you frequently access network shares--is bigger than you might think. You have an easy way around that, provided you know the login IDs and passwords for all the users on your network. This trick works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
First, bring up the Run box by clicking the Start menu button and typing Run. When you get the dialog box, type:
control userpasswords2
Note the specific syntax of the second word, with the number 2 attached at the end; this is important. You'll see a dialog box that lets you enable or disable the requirement to log in when you boot up--or when you connect to a WHS share.
First, select the correct user account from the account list. Make sure that it's highlighted. Then uncheck the box labeled Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
When you click Apply, another dialog box will pop up, and you'll have to enter the user password twice. But once you've done that, you should never see a login screen again. When you boot up the PC, it will automatically boot into the account of the user whose name you specified. If that account name and password is the same one used on the Windows Home Server system, the user won't have to log in to that as well.
Note that this trick also works if you want to access another Windows system that has user accounts with passwords. If all the systems in your network have the same login and password, you can bypass the login screen but still retain some semblance of security. I don't actually recommend this approach, though: It's better to have multiple accounts with different passwords, particularly if you're using a normal Windows system as a de facto server. Just remember that you'll be limited to ten maximum connections if you do this.
Networking With Windows 7, Vista, and XP
Sharing files on a Windows 7 system with other PCs running older versions of Windows can be confusing. Windows 7 has two new features that can frustrate users who are trying to connect to a Windows 7 system when on XP or Vista: HomeGroups and Libraries.
When you first fire up a Windows 7 system, it asks if you want to create a homegroup. Generally, just say Yes. Windows will then present you with a key--a password--that you need to enter on other Windows 7 systems to make them part of the same homegroup. The HomeGroups feature makes Windows 7 connections dead simple.
However, Windows XP and Windows Vista don't understand homegroups. Microsoft recommends two different ways of connecting older PCs to Windows 7 systems.
First, you can create a special account that's just for sharing. Create the account with an easy-to-remember password, and then give that information to anyone on the home network who needs to connect to the Windows 7 machine. If you do this, make sure that the sharing account is a standard account (not an administrator account), to enable better security.
The second way is to go to the advanced-networking control panel and check the box labeled Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. This works, but you do end up with the headache of having to log in.
Finally, if you just can't connect, go back and check to make sure that all the PCs have both IPv4 and IPv6 installed, as I mentioned earlier. This has been my biggest issue when visitors bring over their older Windows XP laptops and try to connect to my home network.
Do you use libraries in Windows 7? Keep in mind that a Windows XP system will see all the folders in the library, but not the library name itself. Just be aware of this behavior--it's very easy to get accustomed to using libraries, only to find that you can't access them in the same way with a previous version of Windows.
Miscellaneous Tips and Tricks
Still struggling with networking problems? Below is a grab bag of tips and tricks for dealing with particular issues.
Check for the home-network setting: When you first fire up Windows Vista or Windows 7, you're faced with a decision--are you on a home network, a work network, or a public network? If the system is a laptop, you may have been tempted to select 'Public network', because you're often in airports or coffee shops and you want to keep your laptop secure.
Don't do this. For your home network, you want to select the 'Home network' setting; otherwise, sharing can be problematic. If you did select 'Public network' for your home network, you can easily change that by bringing up the 'Network and Sharing Center' and clicking the Public network link, which presents you with the original dialog box to select the network type.
Use mapped drives rather than network locations: Creating a network location is easy--too easy, as a matter of fact. All you do is open My Computer and right-click on any open area. One of the property sheet selections is 'Add a network location'. You type in the network share location (\\servername\foldername), and then you can open that location by double-clicking on it, as you would any file folder. Simple, right?
And it is simple--until you use an application that requires a drive letter. In my case, on my Windows Home Server I've stored photographs that are older than two years, and various apps that I use to edit photos or otherwise manipulate folders want drive letters, not network locations. So I created a mapped drive. To do the same, look at the top of the My Computer screen for the Map Network Drive link, and click it. Select a drive letter, and enter the network location. Now you can access that network location by using standard Windows drive-letter syntax.
Know your (Windows) limits: Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Starter cannot create homegroups; they can only join them. Stay aware of this, as you'll need to join them to your homegroup manually by using the password key you created on another system.
Windows 7 users, take advantage of homegroups: When you first bring up Windows 7, it's tempting to skip the step that creates a homegroup. Don't ignore it, particularly if you're running more than one Windows 7 PC. Once you create a homegroup, connecting between machines is easy. Furthermore, Windows 7 puts no limits on the number of systems that can join a homegroup.
Use the troubleshooter: Use the Windows 7 networking troubleshooter if you're still having problems. Sure, you can always search the Internet, but the networking troubleshooter in Windows 7 is surprisingly capable, especially when compared with that of earlier Windows versions. You can find the networking troubleshooter in the 'Network and Sharing Center', at the bottom of the page.
