Hi folks, im newbie to pc.

i was transffering data from my desktop pc to iphone by making my desktop pc open a shared file.

from my iphone, i connect to the shared folder via ipV4 on the folder menu, and its logged in as a owner, so i think needs a username and a pw to even connect to my shared file.

 

But i only shared a single folder on my desktop with owner only being able to access. ("Everyone is not selected)

I noticed I could gain access to all the files in my desktop via "Users" folder.

For one to access via "Users" folder, one must know the user id and password right? (same username & pw for login onto the desktop)

 

but when I unclick "share this folder" that i was sharing on my desktop, msg pops up saying 2 users will be disconnected from this folder,

im the only one who uses my user id & pw

anyone know any cases why this is happening?

i live in a condo, and all other neighbours use the same ISP as its fixed in this condo.

**same ISP, but not shared meaning each tenant needs to be subscribed directely to the isp

i've recently change my router password from default 

 

any info be swell

 

 

 

Sounds like you just have a few Microsoft user accounts stored in the PC.  Maybe at some stage you have signed in with different email addresses, or you have permitted other people to use your PC. 

 

Go to "Settings" and then "Accounts" and have a look around. 

 

Post back with what you find. 

 

Your condo block is using the same ISP, but not using the network, like a hotel or bar, for example.  However, that fact that you did not change your router's default password may mean a neighbor could have been leaching off your WiFi, so they may have had access to your network.  That said, gaining access to a device is a completely different thing, and not so easy to do.

Back up your data and reset the computer.   Start with a clean slate.
