Networking and password issues


Recommended Posts

hi all,

I have a problem with my network at the moment, i have a laptop with xp home and desktop with xp pro both machines see each other fine and share al files except access to my documents. How can i access my documents over the network? Also i want to put a password on my laptop at the login screen, how can i do this without limiting access when im on my home network? Everything is running on 802.11g

Thanks in advance,

Try using the admin shares if your My Documents are on the Pro machine (no admin shares in Home).

Turn off AutoLogin in TweakUI.
