Windows 8 help, Yes I am a dolt

I just installed windows 8.  I think I have the folder shared correctly, but how do I have wdlive see the folder without requiring user login info?  Also, how do you change the setting so the PC won’t sleep when something is being streamed?

Please help, I feel inadequate right now.

Windows 8 can be pretty confusing at first. I haven’t installed the final product yet, but I did use the beta consumer preview for a few weeks. A great resource for Windows 8 is http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/ . It’s loaded with tutorials and tips for Windows 8, as well as plenty of discussion. After I learned the ins and outs of Windows 8(in which the eightforums tutorials helped), I became quite fond of Windows 8.

I can’t help with the WDTV question, mainly due to I wont have mine for another week, here is the answer to your question about changing the sleep/power settings on Windows 8:

Best of luck!

The tutorial site is useful, but I really need to solve this problem.  The kids are planning a revolt.

Treat Windows 8 like windows 7…

I had mine set to auto login and in control panel set it not to go to sleep or shut down !

Hope it helps
