Windows Networking-NTFS Security and Shares

So this has been bugging me for a while. Where can I change this setting in Windows XP?

Sometimes on a machine, I'll make a share for everyone and give everyone read permission for ntfs security.

Half the time people will \\machine\share and get right in, and the other times a login box will pop up.

Where can you control that?

There are cases where I'd like to lock down a folder to specific users, but they sometimes need to connect to it from a machine that they are not logged in to. I'd like to set it up that if the user is not a part of that folder, the login box pops up. In those cases, it just gives a permission denied instead of the login box.

Example 1 - I have one machine that has a temp folder shared out for everyone. However, when you \\ to it, it always asks for login and pass. I want that one to go right in with no login.

Example 2 - I have another machine that has a security folder shared to person A and person B. When they \\ to the folder from a machine that isn't theirs, I'd like for a login box to pop... instead they simply get a Permission Denied because the user account logged in to that computer is not theirs.

Most of these machines are on a domain.

Any help is appreciated!
 
I run into this problem long ago and I think the answer has someting to do with flushing out the the logon information in thenetwork cache to get the popup box. Sorry I cant remember more atm if I do I will post it
