I agree, the symptom description may be wrong as it is not possible to access it even when using credentials, but the proposed registry change will fix it up for sure.

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a try this weekend. The one symptom that does not apply to me is "After you type the credentials, you can view and access all shares" I can never access a local share using any credentials.

I am hoping the article will provide the answer to the issue. I will post the results Sunday.

thanks that did the trick.
