HP M4345 scan to folder

[Hopper]

Question: normally I will set up a new user account on a PC so that I can set up scan to folder. The needed information is

WORKGROUP
path \\hostname\scanfolder
User
Password

My question is this: if I have an end user that does not have a username and password set up to log onto his computer what do you do for username and password. Can it be left blank? This is the way a PC is right out of the box.

If I set up a username Scans and password scans then they will have to log on to their computer rather than just booting it up.

cntrl, alt, del, will show the default user name, mine is owner. for an example.

Thank you both. The other ongoing challenge is that Windows gives you all CAPS vs at a dos prompt type in hostname and it normally is in lower case.

I always use how it is printed at DOS prompt hostname.

Start

Run

control userpasswords2

Untick the box up the top which says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and you will then need to enter in the username and password of the user that needs to auto logon. If the user doesn't have a password, then leave the password field blank.
