I need to get into my main XP machine I have setup as sharing internet and everything. On the other computer (Computer 2) I am using to connect to the main one, When I click on the computer (Main) to connect, It asks me to put in a password and the user name I cant change and its set to guest but I dont have guest account enabled and I tried to but still doesnt work. Could I have clicked, Keep Files Private on my main PC? How do I get into my my main PC? Thanks for all who respond

You can try this: go to the control panel and then administrative tools. Click on computer management and right click the Users button and chose NEW. Create a new user and use this new user ID and Password to connect from your other computer....
