Hi...
I have fresh Server 2003 without any Role, it's a member of a Workgroup.
There's no AD/Domain configured. I have 3 XP Prof Workstations that need to
access some folders shared on the server. Is there anyway for the
workstations to browse shared folders on the server without getting prompt
for a username and password?
Thank you in advance for any response.

If I recall correctly, create local accounts on the server, that match
the username AND the password for the user accounts on the local
workstations. I think that works.
