Hi

OS: XP pro

I'm following a tutorial that came with Visual Studio 2003 .NET...
(NorthwindCE tutorial)

According to this tutorial I have to share a folder on my computer with
anonymous accesss, therefor grant computername\IUSR_computername read access
to the shared folder...

I have created a folder and shared it with read access...
I just checked the checkbox "Share this folder on the network" in the folder
properties window...

My questions are:
Is computername\IUSR_computername a XP account or is it as I think that this
computername\IUSR_computername is a windows 2000 account???

How do I create the compuername\IUSR_computername on XP ??
(A ref to link with be nice)...

Personally I think it means the quest account on my XP, but I'm not sure??
