If you want to set up a shared drive or folder on XP then do this:

1. Go to Control Pannel Arrow User Accounts Arrow Select the Guest account and turn it ON. (Otherwise when you try to connect you will get a login prompt that has the user grayed out but filled in and it will prompt you for a password.)

2. To turn Simple File Sharing on or off in Windows XP Professional, follow these steps:
  1. Double-click My Computer on the desktop.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
  3. Click the View tab, and then select the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) check box to turn on Simple File Sharing. (Clear this check box to turn off this feature.)
If you do it out of order you may only be able to write files in subfolders because they would have inherited the parents settings. If this is the case, just remove all the shares and then create them again.
