I have two computers, one running Windows XP Pro SP2 and the other Windows XP
Home SP2. Each computer has user accounts named "Primary" and "Kids". The
Primary accounts are administrator access and the Kids accounts are limited.
The computers are set up on a basic home network, with simple file sharing
enabled, and selected folders set to be shared on the network. I can access
all shared folders and files from anywhere on the network, except for the
files under the limited Kids user accounts. When I try to access those from
anywhere, I get an "Access is Denied" message. I've read everything I can
find and gone through all sorts of troubleshooting scenarios but I can't
figure it out. Can anyone help?

The "Access Denied" message means that the Guest account on the remote
computer can't access the files or folders.
Thus, you should examine the security settings on the files or folders
involved.
You did mention that you are using simple file sharing. You must disable
simple file sharing to get to the security settings on the XP Pro machine.
I can't help you with this issue on the XP Home machine.
