Maybe you could create an interactive DOS batch file? One that logs you into the server & asks you for the password? Perhaps: net use f: \\server\data <file:///\\server\data> /user: domainname\username password If my memory serves me correctly, if you don?t use password, the batch file actually prompts you for one! Just a though & in the spirit of helping, so that we all may learn :-) Stephen Hartley -----Original Message----- From: Amos D.

And yes, i have problem with the expire password because in my company every user have to change password everyday :-( . if using xp home edition i have to create same user account and password on local machine as the user account on the domain server, and i did it. i try to change password from microsoft outlook but it fail. and moreover i use proxy client to connect isaserver, in internet explorer is not problem because the prompt authorize appear when we will browse, but in outlook express is problem because this can't prompt the authorizing user. and i read in the site news of xp home forum, windows98/me is different with xp home. and i thought maybe there're some other way out or maybe some tools to handle it. ok then, maybe i have to upgrade it to professional edition. thank's for all comments.

It won?t hurt. Maybe everyone doesn?t have the time (or the need) to update ourselves the same way that others do, but we don?t need to wack them when they ask something we know. Yes, for us it?s a very basic question, for others is not. Amos: your Windows XP Home can access shares and printers as long as you have a user created on a local machine that has the same username/password created on the domain. Just make when your password on the domain changes, because sometime it will expire. You can override this by setting your password never to expire.
