    Shared Folders Still Requiring Password When Being Accessed

     
    Hey Everyone,
    How's it going? I have two house mates, and all three of us are running Windows XP. For some reason, they can see and access the folders that I share, but both of their computers listed in the Network Connections > Microsoft Windows Network > Workgroup area require passwords for some reason. How can we access each others' computers?

    Thanks in advance,
    -=MaStA ViC

    They might have made their folders private in the user account. They could try removing their password. Then creating a new one while making sure not to check the box that says "Make my folder/drives private."
