   I have a test install, and with SMB 1.0 turned on, rebooted and messing about   
   multiple times in services.msc , "net view" is *still* returning   
   a complaint about "some service" is not started (2184). Of course,   
   it does not say which service. Which is Microsofts definition of "fun".   
      
   The file sharing troubleshooter (only available via searching for it),   
   does not help.   
      
   I bet I need to reinstall.   
      
   Amiright, MWC ? :-)  OK, reinstall complete, picture below.   
      
   It is easier to just write the names on a slip   
   of paper and tape the paper to the side of the monitor   
   for future reference.   
      
   Let's see, there is "Sleepy", "Dopey", "Bashful"...   
      
   I can see why the machine does not want to connect to them.
