How to Force Login Dialog Box when connecting to a computer?

Hi,

I am having one annoying issue. I have one computer on my home network which acts as a server to all other computers we use throughout the house.

Now, all of the computers are configured to be in the same workgroup, and all of them show up there. When anyone clicks on the computer name it opens up and then users can see shared folders. One of them is called Stuff, which is shared for USERS of this machine only. Now, when I click on it from any machine, I get Access Denied error.

Now the real question: I think all my issues would/could be solved by forcing a Login Dialog box when someone tries to access the computer itself. Right now, it does not show up and people are let through to see the shared folders (which they can't access since it is for users only.)

What group policy setting or registry key controls this value? In the setting "Who can access this computer from network", even when I remove Everyone, I just get access denied, no Login Box??

Please help :)

Petar
