• Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

  I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

  I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

  I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

  Nothing helps.

  svampi,

• Message error "parameter is Incorrect" when powering down wide network of password protected sharing

  In the network and sharing Center, when I click on the arrow to option sharing protected by password, select turn off password protected sharing and click on apply, I get an error message saying "the parameter is Incorrect."  In fact, I would keep the Division password protected, but my son is trying to use a printer that is hard, connected to my computer via the wireless network and enter my user name and password.  It also has Vista.  I check the box saying to remember the password on her computer, but it does not work. Whenever he stops his laptop computer and restarts, then try to print, enter my user name and password again!  I need to get Vista to work on one of these computers!

  Hello anderfam,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  (1) make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled.
  (2) If you are using a computer connected to a "working group", click on the arrow next to password protected sharing to expand this section.  Check if password protected sharing is enabled or disabled.

  If the password sharing is enabled, only people with a user account and password for this computer will be able to access your printer. Disable this option if you want anyone on the network can access the printer you share unless you give then a user account and password.

  Printer sharing:
  ------------------

  To share the printer, configure the printer as a shared printer on the server or the host (the computer connected to the printer).
  Make sure that you install the printer driver on each client or the system remote (computers other than the server).
  It is preferable to obtain the most recent driver of your Web site.
  Also check that the printer is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  If Windows XP Professional Edition is the host:

  1. open the Printers window.
  2. click the right button on your printer list, and then select "Sharing" in the menu that appears.
  3. Select 'Share this printer', type a share name for the printer and click on 'OK '. Take note of this name as it will be used later.

  When Windows Vista is the client:
  Install the printer driver
  Use a driver downloaded from the manufacturer's site to install the printer
   
  1. If you use the downloaded driver, double-click the downloaded file, then click on 'run '. The file will then be extracted and start the driver installation.
  2 follow the prompts and continue with the installation until you reach the Setup completed screen appears.
  3. on this screen, check the "Select" printer port box, and then click on the manual button 'Selection '.
  4. Select "" LPT1: port local printer ' and click on 'OK', then click 'Finish'. "
  5. in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties' (access to the Printers window)
  6. click on the tab "Ports", and then click 'Add Port '.
  7. Select "Local Port" and click "new port" button.
  8. Enter the name of the port using the XP computer name and the name of the printer in the \\ComputerName\PrinterName form and then click 'OK '. Close the Port name window.
  9. click on 'Close' in the Printer Ports window.
  10. the new port poster now as being selected. Click "close".
  11. click on "Install driver" If the following window appears. You are now ready to print.

  Another thing is to make sure that if the firewall windows is that there is an exception specified for sharing files and printing.
  Make sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup. By default, XP machines are set to "MSHOME" while Vista machines are set to "WORKGROUP". They should both say WORKGROUP.

  If please reply back and let us know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  Sincerely,

• Why can't turn off password protected sharing

  Why can't turn off password protected sharing?  I use a Vista SP2 64-bit computer.  When I try to turn it off, I uncheck the button but when I click on the app it changes again to on.  I googled this question and tried many solutions, but so far nothing has worked.

  I am connected to a home network.

  I tried to delete the guest account, enabled the guest account and set up a password for the guest account, which none helped.  I am alo tried to change the IPsec to the manual.  Finally, what makes the work was when I got to a page that seized me add an Everyone permissions. I don't remember how I arrived at this page, but after that I added the new authorization and returned to the page network and sharing, password protected sharing was turned off.

  Thank you for your help.

• Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.

  Hi guys,.

  I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.

  I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.

  The following conditions are true for both machines:

  Are windows 7 Home premium

  Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter

  Are members of the home network

  Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".

  Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.

  Network discovery is on

  File sharing and printer is on

  I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.

  Streaming media is off

  Password protected sharing is on

  Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)

  So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.

  I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.

  My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.

  I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:

  1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
  2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
  3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
  VALUE: 1
  4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you people!

  I think I've cracked the question:

  I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.

  I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.

  I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.

  It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

• password protecting a swf file I want to download on my Web site

  Hi all. I'd appreciate seeing a tutorial showing how to password protect a SWF uploaded on my site.

  I have a swf file which is a work in progress, is NOT ready for public consultation and I need a review from a friend in the United States, and if I could download it and give him the password, it would be be visible only for her, or for anyone else I would give the password.

  So, I looked at a thread for awhile, http://forums.Adobe.com/message/718264#718264 , which explains things I don't understand about programming xml.

  And, I am aware that the publication settings has an option to add a password, I tried but I'm not sure it makes if anything.

  Thank you.
