hi, when I try to access a share folder in a different win xp pc, it pops up the user id password window. when i enter the admin user id and the password, still it keeps on poping up the window. this happen only at around 8 pm. folder is shared with full control to everyone. can you help me?

What you need to do is create a user account on the target PC (the one with the share) that is the same as the user account you're using on the PC you're trying to connect to the share with. The account you create needs to have the exact same username and password used to logon with and the account has to be added to the share and given appropriate access rights (ie: read/write etc)

I just created a little tutorial and had it put in the "How--Tos" section here at CN. Click on this link to the howto guide to read it.

Think you just shared file with user/group permission, so it needs specific and same username/password to log in on remote computer and shared folder. If not, you can enable simple file sharing with no password authentication (less secure).

let me try and see whether it works....appriciate your help...lets be in touch..cheers...
