Autologin on local network?
I have a local network with a Win2K machine and a WinXPHome
machine. No domains, just a workgroup. I have to make a login to get to the folders on the Win2k machine from the WinXP machine. I don't have to do any login from the Win2k machine to get to the folders in the WinXP machine. Is there a way to disable the login (and have an autologin) also on the WinXP machine in order to get to the Win2K folders? thanks Larry |

Windows 2000 uses Advanced File Sharing, which tries first using a non-Guest account (if the account currently logged on the remote computer matches one enabled on this computer), then tries the Guest account (if enabled on this computer). Try enabling the Guest account, using Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window, on the Win2K computer. Then make sure Guest has access to the folders in question.
