Shared folder access

D

danlbradshaw

I have a peer to peer Windows XP environment. I have designated one
computer to store data and have several shares created. Before this
week, users at other workstations could access the shares w/ no login
credentials. This week something has changed and now when any
workstation accesses a share, they are prompted w/ a username &
password. I do not want to add each user to the workstation which has
the shares. I have given a share Full Access to Everyone and still
prompted for a UN/PW. Is this a setting in Group Policy that has
changed?

You must enable simple file sharing.
