Hey broken, it's essentially the same thing


I don't think you can bypass the username/password request - but i haven't used Vista Home, so i'm not too sure on that one

I use a free programme called Network Magic and it's been doing 'what it says on the tin' now for a couple of years with no problem. They tell me it has no problem sharing files across OS's and you can access your PC remotely too.
Hope this helps
