WFW - Folder Permissions

[Guest JohnB]

How do you setup the folder permissions to NOT prompt for a

username/password, in a workgroup?

 

I have a folder that will contain shared, non-confidential files. I know

that if the username/password on the PC and the server match, you don't get

prompted. But some of the accounts here don't match, and I don't want to go

to the trouble of making the passwords match.

 

Is there a way to do this, when the usernames/passwords don't match, and I

don't get the login credentials prompt?

 

TIA

They have to match...

 

Or try giving permissions to the "Everyone Group"

I tried the Everyone group, but it still prompts for username/password

On the server with a shared resource you may wish to enable guest account

and assign appropriate permissions to guests. You are of course aware that

this is lowering all security barriers.

Then you are stuck with the prompt or do as Dusko suggested.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of using the guest account... so I'm going to go

back to making the accounts match.

Thanks.
