thanks for your response. But weird thing is I've never told Windows to
store the password on that particular drive (the Mac). When I map the
drive it just connects automatically. I am 100 percent certain that a:)
I have login/password protection setup on my Mac; and I only have one
account setup on my Mac, which is the admin account; and b:) I know for
certain that it is not connecting to another Mac on the network, as
when I save a file in a directory on my Mac, it is reflected on the
mapped network drive on XP.
Any other suggestions? How would Windows already have the
login/password info if I've never entered it before? Anyway, thanks,
