How to set the password to protect the network, Windows XP Home Edition

Another PC can directly access my computer on the Windows network, so I want to set a password to protect my computer.

There are two basic methods to connect to a computer through a network.

The first is through Remote Desktop connection.  This method requires that a user connect as if they were sitting in front of the computer.  So simply assign a password for each user in the user Panel must control this access road.  If I remember correctly, Remote Desktop connections cannot do XP Home computers, so this may not apply to you.

The second is through the sharing of files on the network.  With XP Home (forced Simple File Sharing), each connection sharing file valid as long as the user "guest".  So to control this access, you must assign a password for the Guest user.
