>When I allow to share some folder on W2K system, I can not access this folder from W95. It needs some password fo access. I haven't entered any password. When I want to access this folder from another W2K computer in the net, there is no problem. Do you know, where the problem could be?

Under WinNT/Win2K, the access is granted at the User level, not on a share level - Win2K expects to authenticate the userid/password combination from the target system to ensure that it has the necessary access privileges before granting access to a share. If the userid used by the Win95 station doesn't exist on that machine (or in the case of a domain, defined within the domain, having granted rights to the domain user or group for the local share) he can't get in. You would have to create an account for each user in order to grant them access, or use an API call such as WNetAddConnection2() or WNetAddConnection3() that permits you to specify a different userid and password to access a remote resource (the default behavior is to use the Windows userid and password for authentication if no other account is specified) with the necessary rights on the local system/domain.
Don't let the term 'Everyone' fool you - that means everyone who successfully authenticates for access to the system, not all anonymous users.
