| 356036 | 2005-05-17 13:15:00 | Is there any way I can stop a Windows machine asking for a password every time I want to access files on the machine? Like, allowing anonymous logons, or some kind of auto-login file or something? | hamstar (4) | ||
| 356037 | 2005-05-17 13:17:00 | You need to re-look at the sharing on the machine you are trying to log on to, or is there an option to save the password. | Rob99 (151) | ||

| 356039 | 2005-05-17 20:21:00 | If u mean on a LAN, enable simple file sharing on XP. Then u wont need a password to login to another pc on the LAN. If the option is there. From previous posts I've seen here XP Home doesnt have this option tho. I could be wrong. |

| 356041 | 2005-05-18 09:43:00 | from the command line: net use (www.microsoft.com) e.g. (all one one line) net use x:\\servername\sharename password /user:username /savecred /persistent:yes actually I'm not too sure you need the /savecred |

| 356042 | 2005-05-18 11:16:00 | I'm an advocate for the net use command myself, but I understand that such permanent solutions are often not needed. If you're not part of a domain (in which case this would just not happen), then you can avoid the problem, I've heard, by creating identical accounts on each PC. That is, if you want to log in with PJohnson on your PC, then access another PC, that other PC must have a user account named PJohnson that has the same password as your machine. |
