so i have a mac, of course!

and it is setup to work on a heterogeneous network. Cool!

i can access my mac easily from winxp.

Interesting... i can actually log into my home directory. Neat! it works just as expected.

Now.. my winxp is setup with multiple accounts (users) as well.

i can log into winxp from my mac but only to shared folers / drives.
Note: these folder/drives are explictly said to be shared!

what i really want is:
to log into my account on the winxp machine and gain full access to my home directory. Just like i do to my mac!

but i don;t know how to setup xp this way!
now i'm not very familiar with window. i've used it only for games, etc.. i have intermediate level of experience with that OS.

i'd really like to know how to setup the pc the way samba on my mac is configured to do so...

thanks..
 
In Windows,
Browse to the folder you want to share, right-click on it, and click on "sharing". Make sure only your account has access to it, otherwise everyone would be able to access it.

User folders are not shared by default.
