[Not A Fix] Allow Blank Network Passwords [Not A Fix]

Hate memorizing all of those network users and passwords?
Don't care about security?
Then this is the article for you...

Notice: In newer XP's you cannot connect to a network share or computer with a blank password.

--- To Allow Blank Network Passwords ---
1) Goto Start > Run > secpol.msc
2) Goto Local Policies > Security Options
3) Look For "Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only"
(3rd one from the top)
4) Right click and select Properties



5) Select the radio button next to Disabled then click Ok
6) Close the Local Security Settings window

Hope That Helps!
