How to connect to remote share C$ specyfing username/password

[Dan]

Hi,

I have a question, Im trying to connect to an XP SP2 computer using
the standard c$ share.
After typing in the address bar \\ipaddress\c$ a dialog box opens and
asks for the password for the computername\guest account.

How can I specify the username I want to connect with so it doesnt use
the guest account.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi,

From memory you can't specify a username/password when using
\\pc-name\share-name from windows explorer.

You will need to either use the "Map Network Drive" feature or the "Net Use"
command from a command promt.

To use the "Map Network Drive" feature right click on "My Computer" and
choose "Map Network Drive", on the Map Network Drive screen click on the
"Connect using a different user name" and enter the the username and password.

To use the "Net Use" command type "Net Use \\pc-name\share-name
/user:username" from a command prompt and then enter password when prompted.
Once this is done you can then access the share from windows explorer using
\\pc-name\share-name.
