The system had the webhancer bug. I used spybot search and destroy as well as tuts on removing webhancer. Well, as it was noted to be likely to occur; all internet activity was lost as the webhancer took out the winsock along with it. So I found the winsock repair utility and that tool was...

How in the world did you know this info? YOu are awesome! Thanks so much!

Somehow the number lock key is automatically enabled on boot up of windows. It didn't do this before. I must have enabled it with a key stroke but have no idea how to disable it from auto-enabling itself. I have to disable it with the function key + F11 key to login to windows, then I have to do...

In Vista I had this printer working a while back. I messed around with disabling some services and startup msconfig stuff. I forgot about the printer. So, I try to use it and now it just sits at printing in the printer queue. But it doesn't actually print. I checked in add/remove printers...

"It's alot easier to just make a foo account on PC1 with the password as bar. Then no login prompt is presented." I don't understand what was meant by that. I think you meant it for his explanation. Could you clear it up for me though. Thank you.

Thank you, I was able to get things working. Not exactly the way I want it yet. But it's a start. I have been told that I can set permissions for users that don't have an account on the current system. But it seems to only work if there is a user account on each pc for each specific share...

I either can't add an object that isn't already existing. User? And then even if I do add a user and add that object. When I try to connect, I get can't access the folder. It doesn't even prompt me for a username and password. Ugh, I am so confused now.

Thanks, I'll try that. Yes, the pc's are all part of the same workgroup. They each have a shared folder as well. Using simple file sharing.

Thanks guys, very helpful explanations. I am giving it a go and hopefully it will work out. So, I can either place an account on each pc that I want to control shares on. Each pc will have the same number of accounts, this makes accessing easier. Or I can just add user permissions to a folder...

When I want to transfer files to shared folders, it just takes forever to find the pc's and folders under my network places. What causes this? It seems like I remember a time when it wouldn't take so long to access my shares. Thanks in advance for any info.

What are some ways I can password protect or user protect files and directories? Do I need to set up a domain to do so? Can I get some recommendations please? I am guessing that this could get crazy intense, so I hope someone will have some patience with me. I am interested in methods for...

Doing so now. Thanks for the suggestion.

My internet connection is working fine. I have the checkbox for don't display whether connection is connected or having problems. But something weird is going on. After I come back to the computer after a while, there are multiple local area connection icons in the systray indicating that there...

Awesome! That is most excellent! Thanks for showing me that.
