Hello, I am a fairly experienced windows user and am in charge of maintaining
a home network of a little more than half a dozen computers. Being the
administrator, I'd like to be able to share large portions of a person's
harddrive and allow me to connect to it remotely.

I'm having a problem with logging into a person's computer. Some of them I
have already logged into with their user name/passwords and thus have limited
access to the computer. I can find no method of logging in with different
credentials, so how is this done?

I'd like to set up the permissions for the shared folders so that my current
user would be able to access all the computers in the network. But in the
folder permissions dialog, I cannot add any user that is not on that PC
locally. Is it possible to add a "location" to the dialog so I can do this?
Or any other method?

Sorry, I found this page through a search and did not recognize that their
were multiple discussion boards. I will repost in the correct board.

Let me point out that this is not really a page or a discussion board
at all. It's a newsgroup. Unfortunately you are using the awful web
interface to participate this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest,
most error-prone method there is. I recommend that you do yourself a
favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes
with Windows. See
