User ID & Password

Don

I'm using a workgroup with a couple of XP Pro machines and a Vista
machine. If I want to access the Vista box I have to give a user ID and
password. But when I'm on the Vista side I can go directly to the
shared folders on the XP machines. How can I set up XP so anyone
wanting network access is prompted for a User ID and password?

You need to disable Simple File Sharing.

You find this in Tools>Folder options for any Explorer window, e.g. My
Computer.
