But the share option has three more sub-options:

Hi Schtrudel,

When you get the box asking for user and password, try typing administrator and no password and see if that lets you in. If so, you are OK but need to do some work on your network administration.

i think the diference from the tutorial might be between xp home and pro

there is another thing you can try

in my computer there should be a folder called "Shared Documents"
if you move the folder you want to share into there and enable sharing it should work just fine

There is a difference between XP Pro and XP Home and you're correct with the drag and drop method if you're using XP Home addition.
