File Sharing Crossover Win7 and Win XP

[Gujarish]

Hello everyone,,
How do I manage to get this done?

I have a few Files that are too large for me to transfer via USB (and my external HDD is full)

In win XP file sharing has been easy! Where you just enable it, and then under  “My network Places” you just click on “View workgroup computers” and then you would see all computers that you have access to..

But I skipped Vista, and just 2 days now I am on Win7 and I just cant figure out how to get this done (Windows 7 part)

I have made a proper crossover cable and have tested it with a tester.
All help is appreciated thanks in advance

P.s. I want to transfer in both Directions From Win XP to  Win7  and Win 7 to XP

Thia has been documented.

Sharing Files Between Windows 7 and Windows XP Make sure both of the machines are on the same Workgroup which by default is named WORKGROUP. From your Windows 7 machine, go to: Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center

Here is my trick. I create a partition on my Hard Drive just for my documents, downloads, photos and videos. I give it  a name related to some  name so I will remember it.
Example; I have a user called 'Fred' and make a partition and call it
'Fred2' and share the whole partition. It is not a system partition, so no harm is done. I have the same thing on both computers and can synchronize that data set on both computers using a suitable tool. I use Sync oy from Microsoft.
And yes, Fred is a user on both computers.
Does this help?
