The simple file sharing is a requirement of the winexe service. You can read more about it here: http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/ I am looking into the XP Home issue, and some suggest that you can change permissions and such if you boot into safe mode under the admin account, more specifically simple file sharing is "disabled". I won't try it any time soon, but was thinking of making a C$ share in safemode and adding the admin as a user.
