Password-protecting shares in XP Home

1.XP Home PCs connecting to password protected 98SE shares

I have a network of 5 PCs, 3 Windows XP Home PCs and 2 Windows 98SE PCs 
and use TCP/IP protocol for file sharing.

Until last week all of my XP Home PCs were able to connect to password 
protected shares on my 98SE PCs, but now the passwords are no longer 
being accepted when trying to log in to them, however both 98SE PCs can 
still log in to the password protected shares on each other

Upon disabling password protection the XP Home PCs can access them.

Any suggestions why this is happening now?

2.Access to Password Protected XP Pro Share from 2K Client upgraded to XP Pro

I've got a mix of machines, some with a clean XP Pro 
install, and some with Win2K upgraded to XP Pro.  All 
machines are in the same workgroup and simple file 
sharing has been turned off on all machines.

I've set up a shared folder on one of the clean XP Pro 
machines and set restrictive permissions on the share.

When I attempt to access the share (either open the share 
from My Network Places or Map a Network Drive) from 
another machine with a clean XP Pro install, I get 
prompted for a user name and password, as I should, and 
everything works fine.

When I attempt to access the share from a machine that's 
been upgraded to XP Pro from Win 2K, I get access denied 
messages without ever being asked for a name or 
password.  This is consistent across the 2K upgrade 
machines.

Yes, the obvious solution would be to wipe the upgraded 
machines and do clean XP installs -- unfortunately that 
would require a ton of work reloading apps and such -- 
and the users wouldn't stand for it.

Anybody else ever run into this?  If so, has anybody 
found a fix?

Thanks.

3.Password protected Share does not require password after first log

Ok,  I know that Windows (XP Pro SP2) stores Network share passwords in 
cache/memory during the duration of the users session until they logout.  But 
is this explained anywhere on Microsoft's website as a normal behavior of the 
Operating System?  I've found an article that pertains to Windows 95, but not 
XP :(

I need to "Prove" to one of my customers that this is normal behavior of the 
Operating System.  

4.access password protected win98 share from winxp box with password different from my login

Good afternoon all,

I need to access a password protected win98 share from winxp box with a
password that's different from my winxp login.  Can someone let me know
how to set this up?

Windows XP used to ask me for the password for this share when I'd
connect.  This had been working fine until I needed set up remote
dektop which forced me to set a login password.  Now that I've password
protected my xp login it seems this password is given to the w98 share
by default with no way to overide, which I could find.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look into this for me.

Best regards,
Michael

5.Windows XP and connecting to Windows 98 password protected shares

I have had a problem lately trying to connect to Windows 98 Password 
Protected shares.  They do not specify a username, and using Guest is not 
working.  I can not change the Windows 98, nor the method for their sharing, 
so I must overcome the problem as is.  

Windows 2000 workstations can still connect fine, but the XP express 
connecting with the Guest account with the ability to change the username 
grayed out.

I don't know if this could be group policy, it is affecting all the Win XP 
boxes, but I would hope that it would affect the Windows 2000 boxes the same, 
but it doesn't...anyone have any ideas?
