Re: Access to the Windows folder on a mapped drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks !! It worked.

Now I've got a partially related question.
When mapping the C$ share on each workstation for the first time, the system
offers the option to remember the Username & Password. When checked, the
user doesn't need to re-map and re-type the credentials every time his/her
machine is rebooted or turned on. However, there's a single Win XP machine
that for some obscure reason it doesn't have the checkbox "Remember
password". What's wrong with this machine? How do I fix it?

The same issue (save for a slightly difference) occurs in a couple of Vista
clients when they map the C$ share on the Windows XP file server. Although
these two Vista machines do have the option for remembering the password,
they don't honor it. Again, for some obscure reason, they don't re-map the
C$ share on the Win XP file server when they're rebooted or turned on. There
must be some sort of network protocols mismatch between Vista <---> XP. Is
there a solution ?

Thanks,
Fernando

To allow networked access to the Windows folder, disable simple file
sharing on the host machine:

1. Open My Computer.
2. Click Tools > Folder Options > View.
3. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings.
4. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended)".
