Guest Don Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I'm using a workgroup with a couple of XP Pro machines and a Vista machine. If I want to access the Vista box I have to give a user ID and password. But when I'm on the Vista side I can go directly to the shared folders on the XP machines. How can I set up XP so anyone wanting network access is prompted for a User ID and password?
Guest Anteaus Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 RE: User ID & Password You need to disable Simple File Sharing. You find this in Tools>Folder options for any Explorer window, e.g. My Computer. "Don" wrote: > I'm using a workgroup with a couple of XP Pro machines and a Vista > machine.
