Yes, both PC A and PC B have different username/passords to access their own
pc's.
I can access the shared files only if the username/password is entered on
the PC A.
- What I would like is for the newly entered username/passord not be showed
on the WELCOME SCREEN at start-up. Is is possible to work around this?
Can the user name /password be entered on the main pc without having it show
up on the Welcome screen?
Thanks Robert.

In this case, you should not create the same username on both computers.
Assuming computer A username is called Auser and computer B has Buser. You
will use Auser name and password accessing computer from the computer B when
it prompts for the username and password. Or check this how to for more
details.

Protect a shared folder using passwordWhen accessing the shared folder from
another computer with different username, a screen will prompt for asking
the username and password. Related Topics ...
