I've bought a new computer which has XP Home Edition and am using it
on my home network. Anytime I go in Explorer and try to look at files
on my other PC's, it first asks me log on by typing in "Administrator"
and "password". Is there a way to stop this behavior? My main PCs are
Win2000, but I have one PC which is running XP Professional, and that
machine does not do this.

Is this some mandatory "feature" of the Home Edition, or is there a
way to set things to avoid this nuisance?

Thanks!

Have you yet tried having an account defined on each of
the machines that has the same account name and password ?
Even with this, accessing things shared out from Home will be
different for all the other systems you mentioned as Home is
always in a simplified sharing mode.
