disagree:

as i know, exactly means the whole path should by the same but the drive 
letter. this can change on each workstation.

period #2 ?

i think read this as i was much younger and never had problems with it.


additional question to smb1.
i activate smb1 on win10 (and if necessary all others since win 7) again. 
but is it necessary to be activated on all pcs within a network, or just 
workstations? i.e. is it necessary for "server" too, or server don't need 
it?

thanks for the answer.
