Thanks!

799478 2009-08-09 03:10:00 ok thanks....

Now when I fileshare between two windows xp home computers - i'm asked for a password:

I go to map the network drive \\server\xampp\ and it asks me to enter a password in a box that has the username as "Server\GUEST" but greyed out

I have tried all sorts of passwords and blank but it wont give

They are both XP Home so there's no option...

799481 2009-08-09 04:24:00 Try this - may work - from your original Link as to What you did - in the box that says printer and File sharing UNTICK it.

Reboot the PC.

Create a new folder ( or use existing one) right click it, sharing, share the folder, also make sure you tick - allow users to change files- hopefully you will get a message about sharing - simply click enable file sharing.( if not - carry on)

reboot again - try the sharing it should hopefully now allow sharing without passwords
