Logon XP network

[Mochyn Brwnt :8(]

OK, so after MANY days - weeks? - of hassle and upgrading both machines to
XPPro, I finally have my wireless network up and fully running.
Both machines can connect to the net, and see each other's shared folders.

When I try to access folders on the remote machine, I get a logon box for
'guest'. There is no option to change this, even though there are multiple
users set up on both machines. Is this usual, or is there some hidden
setting with which I can change user when logging on?

Disable "ForceGuest" on the remote machine: This enables the advanced
security setting:

I'm not experiencing this on my three-WS peer-to-peer, but I am having one
minor problem I can't conquer: No matter how I alter the settings, I cannot
access files in the Program Files, Windows, and Documents and Settings
folder from any other computer. I get an "access denied" message. Can you
access these folders?
