Fix File Sharing on Windows 7

Go to Start -> Run and type secpol.msc

Go to: Local Policies > Security Options

Find "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level"

Mine wasn't set to anything when I found it, so you may have to fiddle with it a bit, I set it to "Send LI & NTLM responses" and it worked, the documentation that led me to this said to use "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".
