I have two computers , one is a desktop while the other is a laptop . I want to make a network between these two computers so as to exchange files between both . the desktop is connected to our company network using a domain name and password . the usb ports are disabled . An  administrative account is enabled on  the desktop  . I saw some of my colleagues  using this method to exchange files between the desktop a their laptops in and out using a shared folder.Both computers the laptop and desktop uses windows 7 system.

If you're able to install programs on your laptop and desktop I would just install Dropbox or use SkyDrive.

In your case Dropbox is very useful and will give you the best flexibility. Install the dropbox on both computers and create an account.
