When "Simple File Sharing" is turned on (default is on), everyone connected
to the XP computer uses the Guest account. So first of all, you need to
disable "Simple File Sharing", then at the other computer you need to logon
to an account having the same name and password as that in the XP computer
and that account is an administrator. By the way, the command should be like:
shutdown -s -m \\computera or
shutdown -r -m \\computera
