Default Re: Can't Access C Drive of another Computer in the same Workgroup

Hi Chuck, thanks for getting back to me.

The desktop computer just logs on without any logon screen or username or
password.

On the notebook computer it come up to a logon screen with the user as
“OWNER”, we just press the enter key without putting in a password and the
computer start up properly. The notebook computer is my wife computer and
she said that after one day of using the computer the next time she turned
the computer on it starting displaying the logon screen with the user name of
“OWNER”. When she first got the computer she would just logs on without any
logon screen or username or password.

Could this be what is causing the problem? Is there a way to remove the
user name “OWNER” and have her computer start up like it use too without a
logon screen or username or password?

Thanks for your help!

Dick
