Vista, for example, makes it relatively simple to share files stored in the Public Folder across a network. On the other hand, sharing standard folders � or those inside an individual user's account folder � in Vista still requires the rather cumbersome task of configuring specific folder and account permissions. Windows 7's HomeGroup feature makes home networking a lot easier by letting you set up a simple password-protected network with other Windows 7 systems through which you can easily share printers and folders located anywhere on your system � including those that belong to individual accounts. Even better, you only need to enter the network password once, when you join the Windows 7 system to the HomeGroup. Learn more about Windows 7's new HomeGroups features in this week's "Did You Know..." article.
