ComputerName/Guest Logon Disable

[Murlo26]

I've done the network wizard, and i can ping the computers on my network, and view them on the workplace, but when i go to access the computers shared files, it asks for a guest logon, and I was wondering if anyone knows what this password would be by default (cause i know i didnt set one) or how to disable this feature so i can directly connect to the file and printer sharing folders.

Thanks

Are the machines in the same workgroup?

Do all accounts that are logged in, have a password? I don't think Windows likes networking with passwords that are blank :s

Might also be some security on the PC you are trying to connect to, perhaps someone made the files/folders private?

Workgroups do not matter. If you are networking XP Home + XP Pro, you have to enable blank passwords, http://www.j79zlr.com/howto.php?id=14
