Hi,
I have 4 PC's, 2 laptops and 2 desktops, all running windows 7 or 8. Somehow I set up homegroups or workgroups
on each one over the past few years and each time each one gave me a complicated password during the setup which i neglected to record because i thought i'd never want to use networking. I move files around via usb keys and dropbox, and lately skydrive. Now, however, I do think it's time to set up a network for sharing files between the PC's directly via my router.
What I want to do is delete all of the stuff i already did, and start over. I googled endless various combinations of how to delete homegroups, etc, but couldn't find out how to delete them.
One result said that if all pc's leave the group, then the group goes away, but i was unable to find out how to leave a group. I'm not really a moron, I'm just a babe in the woods when it comes to networking my PC's, and the terminology is confusing. Is it possible to do what I want? you know, highlight a file somewhere, hit delete, and the group thing goes away?
Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks.
