make winxp ask for a network password
Hello!
In a small office LAN there two PCs, one running WinXP and the other Win2000. On the Win2000 box i used to have a folder shared and the permissions were set to "everyone" and everyone had full control of that folder. I changed that permission options, and set the folder shared only to a group that indicates the LAN users. Now every time i try to view the folder from the WinXP machine i get an error that i have no permission to do so. Is there a way to force WinXP to ask me for a password in order to open that folder? Thanks in advance! |

Well no! But i have created an account on the Win2000 computer that is to be used only by the WinXP box. What i'm trying to do is to make WinXP to ask me for a username and a password in order to view the others' computer shared folders. |

Thanks in advance! It's possible that XP is using a saved password that's no longer valid. To remove it: 1. Go to Control Panel | User Accounts. 2. Click your account. 3. Click "Manage my network passwords". 4. If the other computer appears in the list, click it and click Remove. Thank you. I will try that first thing on Monday morning and I'll report back. |
