XP, ask permission to access vista machine, but pooling has been implemented. What now?

I'm trying to share files between XP Pro and Vista the last two updates.  I followed the instructions to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows where they share the same workgroup, turned on file sharing, etc.

XP sees the Vista machine, but when I click it I get a message that it is not accessible, and I could not have permission.  These are two machines home with no separate connections.  I have admin privs on both.
I tried clicking on share and add that drive C on Vista, but the button share under network and sharing folders is grey.  I went into the button advanced and added everyone out there.  Still no joy.  I also added everyone for the Documents folder too just to see if that would help, but no.
So I'm stuck - any ideas on what to do now?
Thank you.

I have it!

What the video above did not include, it was that although the permissions have been set for everyone, you must also go to the Security tab, click on edit and add everyone in the box.   I hope that if anyone else has this problem that will also help.
