<DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left>Thanks guys,</DIV>

<DIV>I had tried </DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV>net use <A href="file://\\computer">\\computer</A>
password</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>sucessfully, but the ok clearance does not appear to be system wide.
Explorer still requires a login even if subsequently launched from the same dos
prompt.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll look into WNetAddConnection again.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> . .what is happening here is that users on peer to peer Xp who
have a shared resource like a printer, are for modern security reasons, putting
a password on the Guest account.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>The means that any app on other users systems trying to use the shared
printer, need to authenticate themselves manually first.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>People can do it manually by simply trying to open explorer on the UNC name
of the computer, be prompted for a password and then all is fine, other apps on
their workstation can now access shared resources on the remote computer, but
people forget to and then get bugged when they can not print! Or they forget the
name of the <A href="file://\\computer">\\computer</A> they are supposed to
connect to, etc . . </DIV></BODY></HTML>
