Because I am the only one using the PC I do not go through a login
procedure at all - there is no password set. I have tried setting a
guest account before without luck but will try again, just in case.

Your default user will have a name though, even though you don't normally
log in. It will say what it is somewhere in the accounts setup.


The computer name and my (the default) user name is the same -
could that cause a problem? It is when I use that default name that I
get this message:
"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in
smb://***** could not be read or
written (Error Code - 36).
