Re: WFW - Folder Permissions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I tried the Everyone group, but it still prompts for username/password

How do you setup the folder permissions to NOT prompt for a username/password, in a workgroup?

I have a folder that will contain shared, non-confidential files. I know that if the username/password on the PC and the server match, you don't get prompted. But some of the accounts here don't match, and I don't want to go to the trouble of making the passwords match.

Is there a way to do this, when the usernames/passwords don't match, and I don't get the login credentials prompt?

They have to match...

Or try giving permissions to the "Everyone Group"
