Tried again this am and finally got on.

Found my username was DougsDell.......-PC\\Doug's Dell.......580

Can I change both names DougsDell.......-PC and Doug's Dell.......580. Want to simplify things.

Also, do I have to have a password to log in to the computer itself? It's just my family here and don't want to go through logging a password in each time I turn on the computer.

And lastly, do I have to have a password for the first time each day I get on to one computers files through the other one. When I click on a folder on another networked computer it makes me log in with user name a password. I'd like to eliminate that.

You could just set up a network drive to the folders you access all the time.

@thewolfe, You can do all of that if you wish (methods vary from one OS to another) ... but only if you want to do away with any kind of security.
