Creating a User Account for Accessing a Shared Folder (Windows Server 2003)

Return to Overview

You need to create user accounts of the users who access the shared folder in advance. This section describes the procedures to create a new account in your computer.


Remark
  • Even if you don't create a new account by following the procedures below, you can add a pre-registered account as the user who is permitted to access the shared folder. In such case, you need to create a password if it is not set to the pre-registered account. Once the password is created, the user is prompted to type it when he/she logs on to a computer.
