How to make shares on Pi running Bookworm appear in Windows

Raspberrypi 5 running updated bookworm.Moving files between Windows and Pi'es was easy with VNC, but VNCserver is gone in Bookworm. Moving files between Windows and Pi *can*be done with SCP, but everytime I have to check how to write thecommand corretly. Bad memory.Just to make it clear: My windows shares work fine between a Win11 PC,Win10 laptop and Android phone. Also when I was running Ubuntu, theWindows shares could be reached from Ubuntus filemanager.So how to either make shares in Pi visible in Windows, or opposite (orboth ways)?I have googled til I am blue in the face and tried umpteen recipies,but nothing works. Samba is installed on Pi, and edited in anumber of ways.Off topic: The Pi 5 replaced a Pi 4 this friday, both 8 Gb. Justplugged the boot USB from the 4 to the 5. Big difference whenweb-browsing. With the Pi 4 you had to be a bit patient. The 5 feelsalmost like a PC.

I should like to try Tightvnc on the raspberrypi, but both TigerVNC and RealVNC leaves some stuff behind when uninstalled, and this stuff seems to prevent TightVNC from working. Tried this and that, but connection attempts from Windows PC to raspberrypi times out every time. By now i will not do more with this, but take my 2 cats out for a walk in the garden :-) The problem with moving files between raspberrypi and windows PC's is fixed, so I am happy :-)

Best regards
