This article was previously published under Q93127



SUMMARY
Windows for Workgroups caches passwords so you don't have to retype them for every shared resource. If you connect to a shared directory with a read-only password, and you configure Windows to reconnect to that shared directory on startup, you do not have the opportunity to re-enter the full access password.



MORE INFORMATION
To gain full access, reconnect to the same shared directory:


 * 1) From the Disk menu, choose Connect Network Drive.
 * 2) In the Drive box, change the letter to the letter of the drive for which you have read-only access.
 * 3) In the Path dialog box, type the name of the share that you want to change to full access.
 * 4) Choose the OK button.
 * 5) Windows for Workgroups prompts you that you are already connected to the drive. When you choose the OK button, you have the opportunity to enter the full access password.
 * 6) Choose the OK button.

NOTE: You can also use this procedure to change from full access to read-only access.
