Hi Kevin,

    If you are a member of a domain, you can still access folders on other
workgroups, you just need to enter a username and password which is valid on
the computer you are connecting to.

    For example, if you are connecting to a shared folder on a workgroup
computer using Windows Explorer, select 'Map Network Drive' from the Tools
menu.  This should create a dialog box which will allow you to enter the
driver letter and shared folder name.  There is also a line saying 'Connect
using a different user name.' If you click on the underlined text, you can
enter a username and password which should be valid on the computer the
share is on.

Thanks,
Chris Gual [MSFT]
