Re: Syntax for shortcut (WinXP Pro)

Thanks for your reply Chuck but I should have been more explicit.
My question is not about configuration but rather about Windows command line
syntax.
The question is really:
Is there a way to specify username and password in a shortcut commandline?
I can do it with a .bat file, e.g.
net use z: \\xxx.xx.xx.xxx\UserFolder /user:UserName UserPassword
in order to map a network drive to z
I want to basically do the same but open the folder without mapping a
network drive to a drive letter.
Is it possible?
I know of disabling Guest access under WXP on the server but the Nas unit
(D-Link DNS-323) is not a Windows machine and runs its own OS.
I apologise if maybe I should have posted this question in another group.

I want a shortcut that when doubleclicked opens a shared network folder

a NAS unit, but that shouldn't matter) in a new window.
As shortcut target I have entered \\xxx.xx.xx.xxx\foldername (i.e. IP and
name of the shared folder) and would like to add username and possibly
password in the command line.
All I get now is a dialog with username Guest and no alternative to log in
as a different user.

If you want to use a non-Guest account for access, you'll have to disable
Guest,
and enable the non-Guest account for network access.
