That's not possible.  Buy another P.C.

Yes, you can do it.  Just set up more than one user account, and tell the computer to use different settings for each user.\n\nI'm not entirely sure, but I think you can find these settings under "Users" on the Control Panel.

Good Question, but i prefer Installing Remote Administrator software in both the machines, and u can create user on remotely, only using some temporvary memory space.\n\nFirst u hav to connect to the remote machine and u wil get remote desktop screen, then u can do whatever u required

Yes. This is free!!!!!!\n\nXP allows it as long as both computers are on XP Home or Pro (they don't have to be the same as long as their XP and I think SP2) and both are connected to the internet. Its called "Remote Assistance".\n\nGo Start - Help and Support\n\nUnder ask for assistance, select:\n'Invite a friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance'\n\nIf you want to see the other computer then that person has to initiate this.\n\n\nThat person then selects: 'Invite someone to help you' and they then get the option to do this by Messenger or Email.\n\nI've used the email function with friends in the past.\n\nThey also get the option to add a password. I suggest that this gets used as it provides a huge back door to hackers or malicous people.\n\n\nThe helper then gets an email with a link as an attachment and the rest is simply 'follow the bouncing ball' type stuff.\n\nA more detailed answer is available in the link below:

Not necessarily. Disable sharing your drives, and turn on the firewall if you're using Windows XP

Not as far as I know, there might be some third party software that allows it, but the best way to do it would be to set up a temporary guest account that he/she can use while accessing your laptop.

Make sure you run the network setup wizard on both, and make sure both are using the exact same workgroup or network name. It is case sensitive. then right click the start button and open explore on both machines and right click on the root directory (c:&#92;on most computers) or just the folder you want to share. then click on sharing and security, share files and folders. click yes that you know the risks, and then click on share the folder and make sure you check whether you want to allow other users to cahnge your files. do this on both machines and you should have no further issues.

If you don't have pcanywhere, you can try this program: \n\nhttps://secure.logmein.com/go.asp?page=home \n\nIt has a free 30 day trial and works great!  I used it for the 30 days, you basically use the other computer on your computer.  You download the program on the computer you want to access, and you can hide it from being seen.  On the computer you want to use to access it you just go to their website and log in.  (make sure that the second computer is on and hooked up to the internet)\n\nIf there is another person at the second computer you want to access, you can use remote assistance.  You have to set up a password and usually have someone on the second computer approve your access.

if they have file sharing enabled you will be able to see their shares quite easily. You could also log into their folders with a user id and password. As many user id's are owner and a blank password, it is possible to seriously compromise a computer. keep in mind the wireless connection is also on the inside of the nat virtual firewall so unless the other pc is running a firewall, then even more entry points exist.

A free and excellent solution is logmein.com. It's an encrypted, secure connection that allows you to take over your pc remotely. An upgraded plus version requires $$, but will allow even more flexiblity. The free version does not allow shared folders or data transfers, but you can get around this by using email, yahoo briefcase, etc. This solution works behind firewalls and routers.

Here's how to share folders, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/getstarted/shareresources.mspx, connect the two computers together using a LAN cable and file sharing/folder sharing SHOULD work.  What you want to do and what Windows wants to do may be two different things, I've successfully done this one many computers and some simply refused to acknowledge the connection.\n\nThere is an alternative, you can try Beamfile, http://www.beamfile.com/

Laplink is a good option, been around for year and year so nice an secure. Laplink Everywhere is a smaller versoin of the main program (so cheaper), free 30 day trial and then only $8.95, which is nothing considering if you use a free program there is always the risk that it will be unsecure or design to get information. download link from downloads.com is\nhttp://www.download.com/Laplink-Everywhere/3000-7240_4-10392669.html?tag=lst-0-3\nshould do the job nicely (ps you do not need to have a laptop to use it is was just orginally a program for conecting laptops together before networks, had to use a serial cable)
