Windows XP uses the Guest account for shared access over a network.
You would have to assign a password to the guest account to require
passwords for shared access.  If the user is logging on to the same
computer on which the shared resources are located, they are already
using a password to access the computer.

1. Am I admin or am I not Admin, that is the question.

Hi,
  Interesting anominaly.

  I am a member of the Domain Admins. The Domain Admins group is a local
member of the Administrators group of my laptop. In the Fax Service
Management console no devices appear for devices. Fax printer does exist.
  When I put my account directly into the Administrators group and log off
and log back on the device is present in the Fax Service Management console.
  I have the same type of problem with McAfee, I though I am in Domain Admin
it does not let me manage it unless my account is directly in the
Administrators group.

Has any one else seen this? Is this a policy setting somewhere?
