Hi Chuck,
I see. So if the xp professional user account's username & password both
are identical to the username & password create on the server side, then by
default, the user should be able to enter the network with no problem & can
access whatever folder the user can access. I thought this only work for
Windows ME. This works for both XP Professional and XP Home? With any SP
pack?
This is how Windows Networking works. See the white paper linked from my
article:

And note the major difference between XP Pro with Simple File Sharing, and with
Advanced File Sharing!

When the non-admin user connects from the client to the server, the user can
view all the server shared folders (without getting prompted). But the
non-admin user does not have permission to go into the user specific folders.
The non-admin user can however access the "everyone" folder.
Right. User specific folders require user specific access, or admin access.
Non admin = no access. See the white paper.
There is 1 user here however is able to go into 1 user access folder but
cannot save/edit files but can transfer files out/read. That is the only
exception. This user is a computer administrator account (not master
administrator). This only lasted a few hours. When her PC crashed, she no
longer able to access the folder that she could access earlier.
Different administrator accounts might have different access ability, on any
computer. There's nothing magical about "administrative" access. Where I used
to work, it was a sort of game for each computer "owner" to change local /
remote access, to block administrative access. They thought they could keep the
admins from sniffing out the illegal movies and music the staff would try and
hide on "their" computers.
How can anybody access any folders when their computer crashes?
