Windows XP Home Folder Sharing

[Guest]

2 X PC's running XP Home
PC1 -shared folder C:\data shared as Data, with Full Access permissions to
Mick (local user account, done in safe mode)
- Internet Sharing (working)
PC2 logged on as Mick (same password as pc1) connect to network share using
Mick (connect using different user name and password PC1\Mick)
Connects mapped drive but no access granted.
If i tick the Allow network users to change...... everyone has full access
to the share...including I asume external internet users/virus's once
connected ??????

Am I missing something, is there a workaround?

XP Home is set up with an 'all or nothing' approach to security. Workaround
is upgrading to Pro.
