Also, I don't want to enable LAN Manager hashes; having worked for a computer forensics company, I am familiar with how insecure they are (and I didn't need them before; network and printer sharing used to work...) A little Googling found that Windows Live Essentials 2011 broke this somehow. I uninstalled it, and file sharing worked again, but printer sharing is still broken."

== Add Non-Indexed UNC to Library ==

<pre>
Add a non-indexed UNC as a library
===========================
1. Create a folder on your hard drive for shares. i.e. c:\share
2. Create another folder in the above share. i.e. c:\share\music
2. Link the Library to this folder.
3. Delete the folder.
4. Use the mklink in an elevated command prompt to make a symbolic link. Name the link the same as the folder you created above.
i.e - mklink /d c:\share\music \\server\music
5. Done. Now you have non-indexed UNC path as a library.
