Remote Computer Login

I have Windows XP Home and Windows XP Pro. The Home version is running on my
laptop and the Pro version is running on my desktop. Both computers are
networked to share the Internet and File Sharing and such. I've mapped a few
drives from my desktop on to my laptop so I can access my files easily. But
when I access any of the networked drives or even going to a shared folder
via the My Network Places > View workgroup computers I'm asked for login
credentials. I like that it does that. But when I'm on my desktop and I go
to a shared folder on my laptop, it goes straight into the folder without
asking for login credentials (keep in mind that the laptop has XP Home and
the desktop has XP Pro). How can I make the laptop require anyone who wants
to browse the shared folders to enter login credentials? Is it even possible
on XP Home? Replies will be greatly appreciated.
