Hi, I am running a Vista Biz machine and I have shared a drive and allowed Everybody full control on that drive, yet when I map the drive on another Vista machine it wants a user name and password andconsequentlyevery boot up the drive mapping connection fails. I can see in the network setting that file sharing is on, but has Password required in brackets...how can I share this drive and allow access without having a un and pw requirement? Thx Steve

Bump. I am interested in an answer to this one too.

Hi, You can do one of the following: Add the same accounts and passwords to all of the computers on your network.For example, if you have three computers in your home and four family members that use them, add all four accounts with their passwords corresponding to your family members to all three computers. When this is done, each family member can access the shared folders of the other computers, regardless of which computer they are using. This is the recommended method, which provides protection of shared folders and prevents shared folder connection failures. Turn off password protected sharing and enable Guest account. For more information, please refer to the following article: File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx Hope it helps.
