Working with Shares

Exercise 8.2 / Sharing a Folder
Overview / Luz, a user with a Windows 7 workstation, has files on her local drive that she must share with other users on the network. However, these files must not be fully accessible to everyone. As the technical specialist responding to Luz’s request, you decide to create a standard share on the computer and use share permissions to control access to the files.

11.Take a screen shot of the Permissions for support dialog box by pressing Alt+PrtScr, and then paste the resulting image into the lab08_worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Question 1 / Why are you unable to access the share using the Guest account, despite having granted the user the Allow Read permission?
Question 2 / Would the Guest user be able to access the share if you granted it the Allow Full Control share permission, rather than the Allow Read permission?
