Hola,
I have a Vista Home Premium Box (x86) and another PC that runs XP Pro (both licensed legit) and when attempting to access some of the shared folders on the XP box it prompts me for a password. This is unusual because it happens only on some of the folders, and none of the shares are set up for pass word protection. The XP box has NO password for login either. Ideas on how to stop this annoying Vista trait would be graciously appreciated :-) R/ |
