Guests are not enabled. I was always told that is bad for security.

How and where do I set the password for the home machine? I went
to the user /group dialog box I have local users and groups. Do I
put it under users or groups, and do I log it as home machine or
in my name etc.
I appreciate the help.
Thank You.

To change the password or set a password for the user on the Home
machine you will select the User from the local users and there
should be some way to Set password there. (r-click on the username
and see if it has Set password as an option). I don't have Home
installed on any machines here anymore, so I can't give you the
exact steps. Have you tried going through Control Panel/User
Accounts? I don't even know if that selection is there on Home.
I'm not sure what you are asking about "...do I log it as home
machine or in my name etc...".
Log what? where?
Just to summarize,
You have 2 Home machines, each have a username assigned that is
used for login. Regardless of whether you are prompted or not its
there. (With a single account and no password, Home just logs
straight in). Each of the XP Home usernames needs to be added to
the user list on the XP Pro machine. The easiest way, as Pranav
suggested is for all 3 machines to use the same user/password.
But, the bottom line is the username(s) currently in use on the
Home machines must be added as users on the XP Pro machine and then
the permissions on the XP Pro machine set to allow access to the
shares you've defined by those users.
