Username / Password windows opens when no passwords are setI have a small workgroup network that contains 4 computers running Windows XP
Pro, Windows 2000, and Windows MCE. All computer in the existing workgroup can access shared resources on the workgroup and have no local profiles that contain passwords to login. I have added a new computer to the network, no loggin password, and created shared resorces. When any of the computers on the existing network browse to the new computer to access the shared rescources a username / password windows appears. This new system is running Windows MCE and has no local profiles requiring passwords to login to the computer. Why is this window appearing, and how do I disable it so other computers on the workgroup can access the shared folders? -- Thank you, Clinton On Thu, 27 Jul 2006 06:55:01 -0700, delta179

With XP Pro (and MCE), the default Local Security Policy requires a non-blank password for network access. You need a common account on each computer, with identical, non blank password. Or you can modify the LSP on each computer. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html#Synchronise> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html#Synchronise -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
