Password protection on, but no password required

I'm running two new Dell desktops, both with Vista Business. They are
communicating with one another too well. They can both access one
another's public folders, and I have shared a document folder on one
computer. That is great.

The problem is that in the Network and Sharing Center I have password
protected sharing turned 'on' for both computers. However, when I
access the other computer (either direction) no password or user name is
required. I am running McAfee Total Protection Service as the firewall.

I want the user name and password requirement which is why I have it
turned on. I cannot figure out why both computers are acting as if that
setting were turned 'off.' Is there another setting somewhere that is
overriding the password protection in Network and Sharing Center? Other
thoughts? I appreciate any help.

Is it possible you logon both computer using the same the account, for
example Administrator? Or check if you have enable guest account on both
computers.

Thank you for the help, Robert. I do appreciate it. I managed to solve
the problem by exploring the options that you noted. I had managed to
save the user names and passwords in the computers so that when I
connected from one computer to another it went right in without again
prompting for name/password. I found it while in the user account
section. I had a feeling it was something bone-headed and it was. But
I appreciate your help. I'll now be putting tail between my legs and
scurrying off . . . .

Bob, that is NOT me.
He is my resident spoofer.
Here are his and my posting details.

..
That "Mick Murphy" is just a spoofer; just ignore it.
It hates that!
It was using AIOE, but that is finished, so it is using a Hotmail account,
to sign into the MS servers here.
It has been spoofing me for months. I’ve even considered it might be NASS.

Here are the posting details of "it" and myself.
I think you will see the difference; and "it" joined here on the 5th, Jan,
2009!!!!!!!

You may want to check this...right click on the hard drive, choose
properties, Click on the Security tab, and see under Group or user names
if there a user/group called "Everyone" then click on edit and delete
the group "Everyone"
