You have a couple of issues here and some choices to make.
1. Once the everybody WS is logged into the same domain as the owners WS then shared access is control at the share and you will not get prompted for a username and password.
- this presents problem #1 because is you give the everybody user access to the share from the owners pc then everybody can see the files when at the everybody WS
2. the only way to be prompted for the username and password that I have seen is when the workstation accessing the share does not belong to the same domain or workgroup as the computer with the share.
-so if you unjoined the domain, or just logged into the machine locally and tried to acces the share then you would get prompted for domain\username and password.
- this presents two problems for you though, and they can both be worked around.
1. you will now be logging in using a different profile, thats easy to fix by coping the domian profile to the local profile- do this by going into system properties in the advanced tab and then user profiles section
2. now all shares will require a login, this can also be fixed in AD by giving the computer acount access to whatever the domain everybody user had.
There is yet a third option, though it will require some running aroung on th owners part, we know how much they like that though. You could always set the share up so the the domain \owners account has access then have the owner login briefly to the everybody pc with her domain\username and password access the shared and then copy it a folder off the root of c: , log back of and then back in as the everybody user. then she could find the file in that folder off the root of c:
If you find any other way let me know.
