I have been having crazy problems with Readyshare
I have been having crazy problems with Readyshare, I have changed the WINS and added the unsafe SMB1 leaving my system looking unsafe.
I have found that when I open the credential manager from Cont...
If you open the Credentials manager you can show the windows credentials then make the password change required, you'll see READYSHARE as a generic credential, change the password within that and voila you'll be able to use your Readyshare drives, works for both the USB cable attachments correctly.
So that is the solution to the problem caused by not being able to access your drives.It's nothing to do with adding old broken network solutions like SMB 1.0 or WINS, as long as your network is set correctly it should operate succesfully.
For some reason Windows reset that credential, for a reason I cannot understand (you'd have to talk to the programmer of that routine, good luck with that lol).
So I appear to have found a complete solution to that problem... hoorah for me!

Oh no. Not another place to have to mess around!
I see where you mean.

It would be interesting to see if other people can use that route rather than messing with SMB. Maybe I'll grit my teeth and see if it works here.
