Hi,

Does anyone know how to fix this, i got a Lan of 2 computers in a workgroup with file sharing on both pc's, the C drives are being shared with each other
we can connect to each other fine including share files, but upon connection it does not ask for user name and password it just goes directly to the shared folders. we would like to have the logon pop up screen where u can enter user name and password first . anyone some assistance plz?!?!!

thankyou

Thanks for responding, here is a good read for how to share folders in XP pro:

You want to share folders, not entire drives. Turn off Simple File Sharing to allow User Access control on each folder for proper safety.
