Here are some ways to access the WinXP Pro files from the WinXP Home
laptop:

1. Open My Network Places. It should show the shared disks and
folders that you've created.

2. Type the name of the WinXP Pro computer in the Start | Run box in
this format, the click OK:

\\computer

3. Click Start | Search | Computers or People, click "A computer on
the network", type the computer name in the box, and click Search.
When the computer appears, click it.
