I don't see where you said anything about user accounts. On the XP
machine disable Simple Sharing (Folder Options>View) and create a
password for the user account if you haven't done so already. If you are
the only user, you can set XP to log in automatically for convenience.
Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) -
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm
Then create the identical user account and password on the Vista box.
You can use control userpasswords2 method in Vista, also.
Now your XP box will recognize the user on the Vista machine as
authorized to access its resources.
