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

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.
 
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.
