drive sharing

[Guest]

I want to share out my c drive to everyone (not wise I know) running 2000
professional, I made sure sharing was enabled, created the share and set
security and permissions for everyone (all rights). When I go to a client on
the network and try and access the computer it asks for a password. Is there
any way around this password prompt. I want to be able to click the computer
and Boom! there's the share

Maybe adding "Anonymous Logon" would help. Haven't tried it myself. Never needed to nor wanted to. Way too open for me.

You have to create a user account on the "server" for the other users
in the group. You then adjust their priv's. I'd suggest not giving
them access to the entire C drive... just the folder you need to
share. (Which actually probably requires you to restrict access to
the C drive to just you and Admin/system since it's "everyone" by
default, then giving them access to just the folder(s) they need).
