Disable Login Attempt as Guest When Connecting to Network Computer

Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Windows Tips |

When you try to connect to a network resource, the login attempt is made with the Guest account instead of the account you’re logged in as.

You can disable this by performing the following steps:

1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel

2. Double-click Administrative Tools

2. Go to Local Policies > Security Options

3. Check the Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts

4. Set it to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves
