I want to use the Vista "backup status and configuration" to back up a large folder of pictures across my network to a folder on the desktop of an XP Pro machine. The backup program insists on a username and password to access the XP Pro machine, but there are none set. Both computers can see and access each others shares.How do I get past this? Thank you Ripper |

Do yo mean you don't have password on XP? For security reason, you do need to setup a password. Or check this search result. Vista Password Issues Vista Security and Password Issues.

Hello, The Vista Backup application requires a username and password when targetting network shares for backing up. There is some additional requirements that you should know.
