For XP Home, or XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled (the default) all access to a remote share is through the Guest account. No exceptions.
So it does not matter if you add individual users to Share permissions; or if you synchronize username and passwords on all machines.

Note: the "Guest" in this account is not the user Guest. (The one you see in the Control Panel, User Accounts applet). That "Guest" account is only for local console logons, not remote access and file and printer sharing with Simple File Sharing. It is for that reason that one:

. Never removes the Group "Everyone" from a share. Doing so removes the Guest access right;

. Checks with NET USER GUEST the status of this account on all machines, or just simply during setup remembers to one time click Start, Run, net user guest /Active:Yes at each machine.

This is absolutely the best answer I have received. One time at each PC and all the drives are now available. I had to click on the drives other than C. Then make them "shared". This immediately made the F and G drives available to my other PCs. Great advice. That guy knows his stuff.
