Well, by configuring disk drives in the local resources tab your making all disk drives on both PCs
available to you while in the RD session. You can copy/cut-in-paste/etc between drives...
For access to multiple PCs, using Remote Desktop, you can either run RD through a SSH or VPN tunnel
or change/redirect the listening port for each PC. Here are some pages for help with each of those
scenarios...
SSH...

VPN...

Change/redirect the listening port...

Personally I use the SSH method...
Remember that with Remote Desktop only one person can log onto a particular XP Pro PC at a time.

If you need multiple user access to files on a PC then setting up a VPN or SSH server is an
alternative. Remember there is a limit to the number of simultaneous inbound connections that can be
made to an XP box and a limit to the number of inbound connections to a VPN server...
