Sep 5, 2015 5:35 PM in response to doodledonzby Barney-15E,Do you wish to share out your home folder (i.e. log in as you from Windows), or do you want to share other files.
I'm pretty sure that checkbox is only needed if you want to share out your entire home folder (or access it from a Windows computer as you).

Sep 6, 2015 2:20 PM in response to Barney-15Eby doodledonz,actually this has stemmed from simply wanting to share my printers with the other household user (windows) which also so far hasn't worked despite having the shared option for them both on - the closest I got was with the file sharing where my Mac picked up the windows computer but I couldn't then create a password to complete that process
I feel like the windows laptop isn't 'seeing' the Mac
We are both connected to the internet via the same router at home.
Can anybody help me check settings to make sure I am visible and can get at least the printers shared properly?

Dec 28, 2015 12:30 PM in response to doodledonzby teamsonic,I was having this issue this morning, and couldn't seem to find any help online. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but my account's password was linked to my iCloud, and once I unlinked it and set a computer-specific password for my User, the box became active and I could check it. You can change your password settings in the Users and Groups section of the Settings menu. Hope this helps.
