Connecting to Mac from Windows: interestingly "automatic"
#1
Messing around here at home. Both a Mac and a PC are running, logged into user accounts with identical username and password.

To connect to the PC (after turning on SMB sharing and enabling the user account on the Mac) I open a Finder window, click the PC's icon and "Connect As" with credentials as expected and I can see stuff.

Going the other way, connecting to the Mac, didn't require any credentials to be entered and I can see my entire user directory on the Mac. Just click Network in an Explorer window and double-click the icon for the Mac.

Is that typical?
