how do i share entire pc with no log in

i have windows xp pro sp2 all updates etc. how do i share all drives, all
files, all folders without having to log in? i want to share my entire pc
for myself on my lan and don't want to log in at all. i want the c drive
shared, the system folder etc. Every single thing. i don't wanna have to log
in anywhere. if this is not possible can you set it uip so you don'tneed a
password but you can log in with username only? i am the admin too.

the pc will be connected from another pc that is also winxp and my xbox via
xbox media center. each pc has different user accounts. i don't want to log
in at all on either. i connect from xbox to stream music and movies, but it
always asks for log in. it does this for each pc, each folder etc. i don't
want that. and i don't know how to save the log in in xbox media center
media player thing so it won't ask me anymore on either pc.

I'd be so eternally grateful to any help.

Go into the User Accounts and enable the Guest Account.
Then go to Control Panel, Admin Tools, Computer Management, Local User
and Groups, Users. Do a right click on Guest Account(in the right hand
box), left click on properties, uncheck Account is Disabled.
No mroe asking for passwords or names. BUT the pc is WIDE OPEN to the
Internet if you do not also have a router!!!! And then too if you have
wireless and it is not secured by either WEP or MAC Address Filtering,
or better!!!!

Did you restart the pc you made the changes on? Also which pc did you
make the changes on? All of them?

From Regedit go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\LanmanServer\Parameters\NullSessionShares

and add C$

Very, very, very insecure but you know that already...

The slightly safer way is to create explicit logins on each machine, for
the other person and grant them admin rights.
