Txl,
On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro,
you need to have the SFS settings properly set on each computer. If you want to
administer across the network (share the System folders), you have to disable
SFS - Guest won't administer.
With XP Pro, if SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel
- Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves". "Guest only" won't administer.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
