<blink> Oh. Which line is this? Because linux STILL has the same 
problem. It will allow Win10-newer or 11 to see and have its way with 
the linux files, but not Win10-older or anything before, even if they 
see each other.

It's just bizarre that they can't make this backward compatible without 
whining about "security risks". You just handle networking, and let me 
worry about my own bloody security!
