For months, I have had the C: drive shared so others could access files, which I did by going to My Computer, sharing and security, and in the 'network sharing and security' box, I click on both 'share this folder on the network', and 'allow network users to change my files', and I give it a name of C. All that works fine; the other workstations can share files and folders on this computer with no problem. But just today, for the first time, I needed to share some files in a folder within the Program Files folder.
But XP won't let network users access anything within the Program Files folder. If I bring up the Program Files folder in explorer, and right click, and go to 'Sharing and Security', it has the sharing options greyed out, with a message at the bottom saying "All the options on this tab are disabled because this folder is used by the operating system".
How do I get around this? I'm not actually trying to access files in the Program Files folder, but I am trying to access files within a folder that is created within the Program Files folder.
If there is a way, I'd prefer to do it without having to setup all kinds of logins and users and permissions, etc Attachments: Up to 10 attachments including images can be used with a maximum of 3.

I have done a test in my lab. And here is the result for your reference. Please understand that we do not have such Windows XP device for testing, so I prepared windows clients with later OS. I created a shared folder on the Workgroup Windows device and shared the folder to everyone.
And I tried to access the shared folder from domain joined device successfully with entering the administrator account of Workgroup device. And then I can created map drive of the shared folder on domain joined machine successfully. Besides you cannot create a map drive on Windows 10 client, may I know if you could access the shared folder on XP device directly? I've already tried to get it to work in compatibility mode and every attempt has failed. It was made for Windows Professional.
I've got one legacy program that I never got working on Windows 7 in compatibility mode. What's attached to the press, is what can be attached to it, period. These are examples of what I have to work with and what others deal with too.
Yes, we know Windows XP is bad, but we don't always have a choice. NathM , your correct. I saw that they pinged the IP, but missed that they tried connecting to it. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the replies. NicCrockett- You are correct in saying that the system is a legacy piece of hardware that controls a specialized machinery that isn't easily upgradeable.
I found what the issue was. What I failed to realize at the time was that the server side of SMB was not enabled. Once I enabled SMBv1. Server-side via Windows features, everything worked fine. Funny you mention that. I was just getting ready to post this photo, suggesting you manually check the settings instead of using PowerShell. Thanks for your feedback. File sharing and network discovery are turned on on both Windows 10 machines.
All the necessary files and printer on the Windows Xp machine are shared. Even when it's visible however, it won't always connect. When connecting to windows 10 computer b Lenovo laptop , it connects automatically when it's visible but it's sometimes shown as "unknown".
If I re-boot the windows 10 machine it will show as available and connects automatically. The windows 10 machines are connected to the network via wi-fi; the windows Xp machine is connected via ethernet cable. When I first set up the network, I could connect from the Xp machine to both 10 machines and vice-versa, but I could only connect from the windows 10 machines in one direction.
I added the user accounts from windows 10 to my windows xp workgroup.
