Resolved User 'Everyone' needs password

Hi friends

In a WorkGroup using xpwin os, a certain folder 'S_Folder' in one of the PC1, through the 'Sharing' & 'Security' tabs, is set to allow 'Everyone' full control. In this way i presume that users within the WorkGroup can see S_Folder and access it. It was NOT the case:

It still require a user name & password registered with the PC1 to access S_Folder.

The solution can certainly be to set up a new NewUser with password in PC1 that WorkGroup users is allow to use to access S_Folder.

Questions:
1) Why is 'Everyone' not really everyone in the WorkGroup that can access S_Folder in PC1 without password check?
2) Is there another registered Group eg Guests or another way to allow access to the S_Folder in PC1 to allow any user in WorkGroup to access without password?

THANKS in anticipation.

 

Thanks Tony

So it is the final word: Any access to new shared folder to PC with XPWin Prof with Simple Sharing off, will require a registered user and password with the PC irrespective of what type of user. There is no two ways about it.
