In a small office (7 computers + 1 w2k server), where we
only care about pw on the server, what's the best way to
give everyone free access to each other's computer? In
the past, everyone logged on each other's as Administrator
with no PW, but now that we need user names to log onto
the server, it becomes impossible to log on to peer
computers. In other words, when Michelle boots her win 95
machine as "michelle" with no pw, how do I configure the
other machines so they accept "michelle" with no pw when
she goes to read their drive? The server right now has a
separate account for each user.

Should I be using a guest account somehow?

thanks
Michael
