I'm using Win XP Pro and have several folders that are shared. In the
sharing properties, I select user limit of "Maximum Allowed". I found out
that the max for XP Pro is 10. Is there a way to increase the maximum?
Sometimes we can have about 20 users. Thanks

If you need more than 10, buy a server.

No there isn't. The only way to increase that is to use server software.....

No, 10 users is the max the Pro will allow. You would need to goto a Windows
2003 Server to increase the limit.

Ahem! There /are/ alternatives......

Of course! However, since the user knows Windows XP, there is a "shorter"
learning curve with Windows 2003 Server.

Short of replacing WinXP with a Server OS, no.
