Win 7 Use as Server   

 

Share the folders in explorer as always. Probably will have to use share with specific names and choose everyone. THEN YOU MUST change access to read/write.

You MUST turn off Password Protected Sharing on the SERVER to use it from other computers as a mapped drive.

Start
Control Panel
Homegroup Sharing Options
Change Advanced Sharing Settings

Turn off Password Protected Sharing

Save

It turns out that now you can map a network drive to yourself to have the server function as a user.
