I do not think so because there are 3 administrative users on the 3 xp pros
that are networked. and each computer can get to the one designated
Administrative User that is being shared.
In Vista the 2nd user account that i set up with administrative authority
"sees" and can get into that particular user.
The limited account with putting in a username and password (the one on each
xp computer) sees it too.
The 1st user account that has administrative authority gets into the xp pro
machines but cannot get into the designated Administrative User account. If
it was on the xp side it would not let any of the Vista user accounts in but
it is letting all of them in, just not the main user account which makes no
sense because the names are not even close to each other and it is letting
it into the two folders that are on the c drive.
This is what is so frustating and I cannot figure out what is wrong.
