Hi, never done it myself ,but google has a lot of info one doing it

Been a little while, but do remember:

  • XP accounts need to be Password Protected
  • XP and Vista use different base directories, so might have to follow "root directories" once opening "Network" from Start-Menu.

As a tip: make use of Help Menu in Vista. Had difficulties myself when first moving to Vista, and the Help Menu in Vista had all the info I needed to set things straight ;)
