Unfortunately, there is no simple filesharing off and on option in XP Home (only in XP Pro). I googled how to share the Program Files and Windows folders but came up with nothing.

Regarding the security issue, one computer has access to broadband internet via a USB modem. I am running Zone Alarm firewall on that machine, and no firewall on the machine it is connected to (which does not yet have an internet connection). Is that safe enough to keep web intruders out? Thanks again for any help...
