Hello All!

I'm new to this forum so here comes my first post...

I've got 2 PCs. Both running XP and on the same Workgroup.

On PC A, I want to give full control to User B on PC B. However, on PC A, I
can't see who is on PC B. As such, I can't allow User B to have full control
on PC A.

Please help. Thanks!

In a workgroup, permissions are based on accounts that exist on the
local computer. Those permissions apply to the same accounts on other
computers. Create an account on PC A with the same user name and
password that belong to User B on PC B.

Those permissions are available in XP Professional, but not in XP Home
Edition. For full details of how to set permissions, see:

It's that simple! I should've guessed!

You're welcome. It's simple, but I don't think it's well documented
by Microsoft, so it's hard to figure out.
