Ah . . . my laptop is XP Home, and that option apparently doesn't exist, always supposedly "ON." My main computer has "media center addition," which like XP Pro has the option for simple file sharing.

Still, I can't figure out why this stopped working suddenly.

Continuing to work on this . . . .

I have tried setting the sharing options on other folders, but still get the "password" requirement on them all. Weird.
