Don't. Seriously, just don't. Worst idea ever. Moreso if you use wifi.

i want to share my entire pc for myself on my lan and don't want to log in
at all. i want the c drive shared, the system folder etc. Every single
thing. i don't wanna have to log in anywhere. if this is not possible can
you set it uip so you don'tneed a password but you can log in with
username only?

You can do this, but it's tremendously retarded to share more than you have
to and to deliberately remove security controls. Unless you hate having a
working, secure system that you can trust, it's best not to even bark up
that tree.

i am the admin too.

I hope with this you mean that you know the "Administrator" password and not
that you set your normal user day-to-day account to Administrator
privileges, and that you use passwords for all accounts regardless of
privileges. Otherwise you're "admin" in name only and not doing anything
close to a decent job of it; you should only use administrator privileges
when maintaining or configuring systems, not for browsing, email, gaming,
office stuff or anything other than system maintenance.

the pc will be connected from another pc that is also winxp and my xbox
via xbox media center. each pc has different user accounts. i don't want
to log in at all on either. i connect from xbox to stream music and
movies, but it always asks for log in. it does this for each pc, each
folder etc. i don't want that.

Unfortunately, that's something you're just going to have to live with if
you don't want to be a brutally easy target.

and i don't know how to save the log in in xbox media center media player
thing so it won't ask me anymore on either pc.

Don't save passwords. Seriously, use the security controls provided. They
are for your benefit.
