Windows 2000 connect to workgroup

chnobs · 11-15-2005, 04:59 AM

I have a windows 2000 computer which is my main computer, sharing folders and files with two other computers (windows 2000 & XP) in a workgroup. I can get the windows xp computer to connect to the main computer automatically because I click on the save password button on the network log on screen. However, I cannot get my windows 2000 computer to connect automatically to my main computer. After I bootup the windows 2000 computer, I would have to type in the username and password every time I try to connect to the main computer. My question: Is there anyway I can have the windows 2000 computer to connect to the main computer without having to type in my username and password everytime I bootup the computer. Thank for any help.

Go into control panel open, users and password there is the option to require user must enter username and password to log in . uncheck that box and apply.
