Hi Jensen,

FYI, turning Off Simple File sharing as per Q307874 alters the same registry value you describe.

Hi Bruce,
Thank for your links. But the discriptions by Microsoft did
unfortunately not help me. But I found the soloutins in some other way
:
I got the the key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
and sat the value : forceguest = 0
- then I can modify every security I want.
Thanks
Jorgen
