[SOLVED] Configuring Windows To Access Moode USB Drive

[kurek]

Problem solved - that took a lot more trial and error than would have been nice but hopefully this helps future users!

Actual steps to solution here:

Open "Local Group Policy Editor" by searching in Start Menu or going to Run and running gpedit.msc, then go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\network\Lanman Workstation and: "Enable insecure guest logons"




After performing the above action,  mapping the drive as a network location was pretty much immediate, no reboot even. 

Thanks for your assistance and patience,  now on to the fun bits.
