Guest JohnB Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 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" -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------

Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Re: WFW - Folder Permissions 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.

Guest JohnB Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Re: WFW - Folder Permissions 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.
