"Connect to" dialog username grayed out

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am trying to connect from one Windows XP Pro system to another within a
workgroup using the \\ComputerName\d$ call in the address bar of Windows
Explorer.

In Win2K/NT, I would usually get a "Connect to" dialog asking for my
username and password. However, in XP, I get a "Connect to" dialog with a
grayed out \\ComputerName\Guest user name in the username field.

I'm probably missing something simple here but I really like accessing a
drive sometimes and as an admin, I should be able to do so.

Thanks
