Prompt For User Id and Password Don <gregoryhouse4[ at ]gmail.com> 10/31/2008 8:35:49 PM I'm using Windows XP Professional in a peer to peer network environment. I have turned off simple file sharing. How can I set up my machines so the user is prompted for a User Id and password when they try to access a file share on another machine? Or is this feature only available when connected through a domain server? Thanks.

Turning off Simple File Sharing should do it - granted the logged on user/password is not the exact same combination on the remote computers. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
