Re: About sharing priblem

Hi,

Windows XP, by default, uses Simple file and printer sharing and forces
logon with the guest account. You can disable simple file sharing following
this steps:

1.. Click Start in open My computer
2.. Click Tools and open Folder options
3.. Click to remove Use Simple files sharing (recommended)
You can also disable the Guest account.

1.. Click Start and select Control panel
2.. Click User account
3.. Click the Guest account
4.. Click Disable Guest account
In this case you will be prompted for username and password. Here are some
articles that might help you:
