You could, but if you enable the guest account and allow "everyone" access to your shares that won't be nessary.

Sharing files is different in Xp home, so here's a link to help if you need it.

I do this, but my understanding is both machines must have win xp pro. I could never find the IP address when one of the machines had xp home and one had xp pro. As soon as I put xp pro on both, I was connecting.

Remote desktop connection
