    Non-simple File Sharing absurdity #2

    linney - thanks for all the valuable pointers. The last link on MS.com (manage passwd on non-domain XPP), includes the following instructions: 2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 3. In Control Panel, click User Accounts under Pick a category to open the User Accounts dialog box. 4...

    Non-simple File Sharing absurdity #2

    Wow ! ... that sure works. Thanks smah Can I ask you where do you find such nifty hidden stuff? Like is there an index or website somewhere titled "all the good stuff that the so-called M$ engineers try hard for you not to know"?

    Non-simple File Sharing absurdity #2

    There is now a new problem with non-simple file sharing. Once you establish authentication, then it seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to turn it off !! Thus creating a huge security hole. Assume there is a public machine with many users all the same password (or no passwd). Assume a private machine...

    XPP non-simple File Sharing absurdity

    Hi all - I decided to turn off "Simple File Sharing" (in folders->folder options->view, of all the places on earth!), and am stuck with an anomaly, and your help is most appreciated. If a user tries to share a file over the network, but the user does not have an account on the machine, it...
