What do I need to do to copy file to vista????              Like XP Pro, Vista dislikes network access for accounts without a password.       In fact that is a good idea, since anyone using "net use *       \\vistabox\c$ /user:whatheknowsisyourusername" and no password, could get       to your files and/or implant trojans from remote, otherwise.       Therefore, you should create a common user with password (set it to not       expire) on all networked machines. You can always "connect as ...".       --       vista policy violation: Microsoft optical mouse found penguin patterns        on mousepad.
