In case of Vista, the default workgroup is MSHOME,and in case XP WORKGROUP. So make sure both system’s are on the same workgroup before attempting to share files between XP and Vista.
First thing to do:
In XP, go to Control Panel > System. Then on the “Computer Name” tab, click the change button, and edit the workgroup to be the same as Vista (MSHOME).
On the Vista machine:
1.First go to the Network and Sharing Centre and make sure you have file sharing turned on. Having your network set to Private also helps.
1.afterthat go to the folder you want to share and Right-click on the file to bring a menu up > Choose Properties > Then Sharing. Click on Advanced Sharing. More details on how to share a file.
2.Now click the Share this folder check box, and then click Permissions.
3.Let the Permission window should open.
4.After now click on add to add a user. Then type in guest in the textbox that says Enter the object names to select.
5.Click Check Names which should then find Vista’s guest account and prefix your PC’s name in this format: YourComputerName\guest.
6.Click Ok to go back to the Permissions window.
7.You should now have the Guest account under group or users names.
8.Highlight the guest account and give it the relevant permissions. (Full control, Change or Read)
9.Click Ok and your done!
This is how simple it is to sharing file worked between Windows XP computers , and now you can have it enabled for Vista too!
