Along with what's already been mentioned, XP Home has had the security measures that
even Win 9x systems have, disabled/stripped out. In other words, you won't be able
to put passwords on shared resources. XP Home was designed for the home environment,
where supposedly MS thought that all that much security was not necessary. Simple
file and print sharing is about all that is available in XP Home. It won't remember
passwords for logging in to shares either. At least not that I have been able to
determine. PC Mag has had articles on the subject within the past 3 months. You
are better off with XP Pro if you need any kind of security on the machine at all.
