Go to any Vista Laptop or PC and create one user same as XP User. Then go to your Share (in your case your drives) and add this new username to the List. (Users' List who can access the data).

in one of our laptops i am having vista home basic , nither gpedit.msc nor secpol.msc  is working in it
plz advice how should i go in the security policies of this laptop

 

by: sanjeevkmrsPosted on 2009-11-09 at 04:38:43ID: 25775316

this problem occurs if  administrator accounts are disabled or not exisiting in the pc's so for this we have to enable administrator accounts in each windows vista laptops : by going to
run
secpol.msc
local policies
security options and enable administrator account
and reboot the laptop
on reeboot we can see administrator account existing  open it and put password
now we can acces this laptop throgh windows xp

for vista home premium type this command to enable administrator account :-
follow these steps :-
Open an elevated command prompt:

Win key / type: cmd / ctrl + shift + enter / confirm the prompt (alt+C)

type: net user administrator /active:yes

If you want to assign a password immediately

type: net user administrator yOurPazzWerd /active:yes

where "yOurPazzwerd" is what you want to assign

Now head over to user accounts:

win key / type: user accounts / hit enter

"manage another account"

Confirm the prompt, you should see the hidden administrator account

regards
