Thanks. I was hoping that was the case. But...... when I try this I
see the folder, then get an error when opening that says I don't have
permission. Some folders are OK, but others can not be read. Ideas?

Can't help you without more information such as exact error, Service
Pack level, if all machines are running XP Pro, how many machines, etc.
If you are only talking about a few machines and they are all Pro, just
go ahead and disable Simple Sharing on them and create identical user
accounts/passwords.

Check your permissions on the shares you are trying to access.
