I want to know how can I enable password protected sharing in Windows XP? I can do that in Windows 7 but I don't know how to do this in Windows XP.
I have enabled sharing in Windows XP running the network wizard and now when I access it from another computer on my network it directly opens and doesn't ask for any password. While as opposed to this when I have enabled password protected sharing in my Windows7 64 bit and I try to open it from another computer on my network it asks for username and password.
I'm not sure what you are asking. Your title is "How to enable password protected sharing" yet in the body of your question you say that you have already enabled this, but it's asking for a user name and password (which is what it should do).
If you just want to log on to that share, try using whatever username and password you would use to access the machine if you were setting in front of it. If that doesn't work, check the permissions. – Will – 2012-04-23T17:23:23.497
