network passwords losing after reboot?

[trodas]

I use a local network based on one router and two 8 port switches, total 10 computers connected. Recently after some useless experiments with WinXP on my main machine I get back to Win2k SP and each time I access first another network machine drive it ask me for a password!

And after reboot again - could anyone tell me, witch services/settings could affect that, please? I run a HIGHLY optimized these XP machines services, but it worked using XP, so the fault is probably on my side - so, what service is need to store these passwords?

Make sure that the "Protected Storage" service is running.

Yes, it running. The question - does it need to run on the other machines too?

One one or two it run, on other, folding ones, it not running.

****. What that could be?

On each machine that needs to remember the password. So, yes.

I don't have a clue what you are saying here

TAiN - so, I checked and even on the folding machines these services are running in automatic mode all the time. So the problem must be somewhere else. I fear that it was the HDD problem (the Maxtor disk utility says it fixed it?) I had recently. Now I trying XP for testing if I get my reader to work and no, nope. It did not working

So thanks, I hope I can report 100% functionality when I get back to W2k later

I don't understand how you are using the word "folding".

[trodas]

Folding is calculationg how proteins in our bodies are joining in process called "fold" (hence - folding) and when we understand it better, we can fight various diseases

I think that the most easy way to understand it painlessly is this flash:
