Have you looked into giving the "everyone" group access to the printer, and allowing "everyone" to access your computer over the network, via the security policy that I mentioned? I'm not positive that will solve your printer sharing without a password problem, but from what I recall that's what worked for me. This has some info. on default security settings: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en- us/windows_security_default_settings.mspx?mfr=true It has a section on Windows 2000 to WinXP upgrade issues as they relate to the ANONYMOUS_LOGIN user, which is something I ran into before doing a full system install, and resetting ownerships. I disable SFP because in our house different users may use the same PC. On my PC, I have home finance files, and work files and want to keep them well away from my teenage daughter and her friends. She has a limited account also, with all the usual irriatations that brings along. Also, I like to selectively share folders such as family photos and music across our internal net, and for that I prefer finer grained control. There is a place for ACL's even in a fairly simple home/office setting. -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
