Redhat Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 By clicking "My Network Places" on Windows XP, your local log-on password may unexpectedly be transmitted automatically to numerous unspecified computers on the LAN. When "My Network Places" is clicked, Windows XP tries to acquire the shared resources list of all computers on the LAN. At that time, the user local log-on password is used when the password for the shared resource has not been preserved.http://www.securityfriday.com/Topics/winxp1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
