How to disable "ANONYMOUS LOGON" in XP Home?

Alien

I find that another computer can access my shared folder without
password, and in the event viewer's security section I can find
follows:

Event Type: Success Audit

Date: 09/01/2006
Time: 7:46:25 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON

Logon ID: (0x0,0x2377A1)

Hi,

Don't make it a shared folder if you don't want other machines to access it.
