If the PC's are networked would always use a password even if it is in the house. You could disable security on your network shares, this would enable them to be used by all users tthat have file and printer sharing installed. Or you could setup PC1 with a user the same as PC2 PC1 = Jblogs = yorpassword PC2 = Jblogs = yorpassword if you set the pcs up like this you will be able to not require a password to use the share although they will be blockked from other users. Also you could hide the user with a reg tweak so it appears they do not exisit on the welcome screen. This is the part that throws me, as it sounds like you may want to use Remote Desktop ? And for this I am unaware of any way to login without a password using the standard tools. hope this helps
