[Mizraab]

I have two computer (1 Desktop and 1 Laptop) and both are running on Windows
XP. Laptop runs on my business domain with my Desktop is on WORKGROUP.

when i type in \\computername it asks for login password. How can i disable
that so that i can access my shared folders on both the computers? without
having to enter the login password?

thanks
