How can I access shares on a Windows XP machine from Windows Me and Win9x?

I was getting "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."

To fix it, I brwsed to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy, then under Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. I removed the entry "Guest" under "Deny access to this computer from the network" and it fixed it.

I did everything mentioned above and everything works fine until next logon.
When I login again the settings in "Access this computer from the network" disappear. From audit logs I see that after login this access right is removed somehow.
Does anyone know what can implicitely remove this access rights during logon?

I've had pretty much the same problem PC and Laptop both runnin XP Pro & sp2
after 2 weeks of head scratching I've tried this and it is all working

Try this on The Computer you Can't Access (Laptop in My Case)

Click - START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > ADMINISTATIVE TOOLS >
LOCAL SECURITY POLICY > LOCAL POLICIES > USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT
Double Click: Access this computer from the network > Then Add User or Group
> Enter the Object Names to Select >Type in "Everyone"

I fixed this by setting up the share and ensuring that 'Everyone' appeared when clicking the permissions button, then clicking on the security tab. Click on Add...and then type 'Everyone' in the Enter the Object Names box.

This then allowed everyone on the network access the the folders.

Thanks that solved the problem, bu why did this get changed in the first place. One day all is ok, the next I can't access my network shares, strange. Did we get a microsoft patch rescently?
