I need to ask a question on the same topic as you guys are talking about.
Basically, I have 2 PCs, one WinXp Pro and the WinXP home, I'm trying to map
(using net use command) a drive to a shared folder on the XP Home PC. The
drive gets mapped but it maps using the guest account, is there anyway that I
can use one of the other accounts that I've created ? I assume the answer is
no because XP home only allows simple file sharing but I had to ask.
Thanks in advance,
