Can't beleive that I can't do this!!!!!

I have one machine running XP and another running windows 7. They are both connected to the interweb via router.

I want the windows 7 machine to be able to see the C drive of the XP machine.

Just can't seem to manage it so any help would be appreciated.

    Open Windows Explorer.
    Right Click on C drive and select Sharing.

    Follow the prompts.

    It works better on XP if there is a password on the user account on XP and when accessing from the Win7 machine you use the same user/password to access it.
