Partha,

Enable Windows Logon, reversing the instructions in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=152104

Setup a local account on the Windows XP computer, with a non-blank password.

When you logon to the Windows 95 computer, use the account / password setup on
the Windows XP computer.
