I believe that XP Home has a limitation that only allows guest access to
computer shares which means it uses only simple file sharing and the only
thing you can do is to control the access that users get to a share such as
if they can only read or also write and delete. XP Pro however allows you to
finely control access to network shares by specifying users/groups and the
level of access, if any, for them. The link below explains more on network
sharing and XP Home. ---- Steve
