By default, Windows XP doesn't allow sharing the Program Files and
Windows folders or individual users' folders within Documents and
Settings.
You can share subfolders within those folders, e.g. you can share
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express" or "C:\Documents and
Settings\Username\Desktop" and access that folder from another
computer on the network.
With Windows XP Professional, you can disable simple file sharing,
which removes those sharing restrictions:
1. Open My Computer and click Tools | Folder Options | View.
2. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings.
3. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended)".
You'll then need to create matching user accounts on each computer to
allow access to the shared folder. Details here:
