Hi All,

Sorry for the OT message, but I can't find the answer to this anywhere.

I am writing a simple VB application which will periodically copy files
from several machines (using NetBEUI/Microsoft Networking). It runs under
Win98. The way I
have it set up now, the application keeps a list of path+filename for
each file and goes down the list executing an SH_FileOperation on each
entry in the list. This works as long as the password for that machine
has been entered in windows' password list.

However, I would like to find out how to get this application to maintain
its own password list so that it could operate more independently. Is
this possible? How are you SUPPOSED to do this kind of simple networking
in VB?

I find it fascinating that there doesn't appear to be a way to specify a
password in a path. For example, I can say \\Joe\c\joe.txt to get joe.txt
from the shared volume "c" on machine "Joe". However, there doesn't seem
to be a way to specify the password (i.e.
\\joe\c\joe.txt,password="hello"). What if I don't want the password to
be remembered by the machine I'm running this on?

BTW, Does anyone know where windows keeps its password list? I would like
to be able to check what passwords a particular machine knows without
having to go and try to connect to each machine,etc.

Thanks,

Sean
