Disable login (username & password) for filesharing

[thusnani]

I'm not sure of the technical term for this but when I'm accessing files on the external usb hard drive, everytime I restart my computer, I need to put in my username and password. Is there a way to disable this? So that those computers/tablets/smart phones don't need to login to gain access?

Thanks in advance.

You will have to either tell Windows to memorize the login (Windows can sometime be stubborn about this however), or use the same username and password you use to log into your PC so your PC will automatically send it to the router when you try to access the share.

To make sure Windows remembers the login credentials:

In an elevated cmd prompt windows:

cmdkey /add:10.10.27.231 /user:username /passassword


replace the 10.10.27.231 address with the actual (static) address of the share you want to connect automatically to.


cmdkey /delete:10.10.27.231

use the above command to delete any automatic login credentials you don't want anymore.


cmdkey /list

use the above command to list the saved credentials.
