You left out the version of XP you have. If you have XP Home, you can't
share any of those directories. You can share subfolders in users' home
directories (inside My Documents for instance). There would be no reason
to ever share the Windows and Program Files directories over a network
and doing so would be foolish. If you have XP Home, put files you wish
to share in the Shared Documents folder.

If you have XP Pro, disable Simple Sharing from Folder Options>View.
This will require that you also create identical user accounts/passwords
on all machines. You still should not share the Windows and Program
Files directories.

If you need more help, please post back with more details about your
versions of XP and what you are actually trying to accomplish to help us
provide you with focused troubleshooting.
