I'm running an XP-based shared folder on my server (The Marines didn't have Server 2003, so they installed XP). The 10 user limit is really killing me. Can I set a time limit for how long a user can be idle and still have the folder open? Would be much easier on me than having to log into the server every few minutes to knock people off.

You can try this..... (I think it will work)...

On the XP workstation that is set up as a share.... open a command prompt window with the Administrator account (or account with Admin rights) and enter the following command....

net config server /autodisconnect:number

Where number is the number of minutes you wish to have idle users disconnected.

Give it a shot.

There is a registry hack... but that is probably the easiest method.

Maybe you could consider setting up a Samba server using some version of Linux or Unix. It's free and you can have shitloads of people logged in at the same time. Samba is highly configurable to most needs.
