Did you disable simple file sharing?
OPen my computer - tools / folder options / view - very bottom

What exactly does this do? XP has been a hassle to share between Pro and Home edtitions.

What do you mean what does it do?
Changing between simple sharing and advanced means the user can specify the settings for which the file can be shared ! i just like to be able to see all the settings and some times i only want some network users to access the folder !
