Access my folder from another computer

My computer is a Windows XP. I want to allow my folder, say c:\temp to be
accessable from an application program running on a Windows 2000 server. In
particular, what if this program is running under the special account NT
AUTHORITY/SYSTEM?

Has anyone got the exact details how to set the folder permission of c:\temp
step by step. Assume both the Windows XP and the server are part of the same
domain.

Without your telling us more about this mysterious application program, we can't
really say. Can you contact the vendor, and find out how to set it up? Most
applications, running on a server as NT Authority / System, do not reference
"C:\Temp" on a client.

No, it is not a question specific to one application.

Try to follow the above link and experience it yourself. Tell us if you
could access ANY network share in a session started by the special user "NT
AUTHORITY/SYSTEM".

In the command prompt I simply type "dir \\xx.xx.xx.xx\myShare" but I always
get an error message 'access denied'. I create "myShare" in my own PC, and
setup 'myShare' with machine XX in the permission list, and I also sepcify
'everyone' in the permission list for myShare. Within a session that is
started by "NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM" as described in the link, I found it cannot
access any shared folder sitting in another machine at all. I don't know if
this is wrong or not. Microsoft documentation does not state if it can or
cannot, this is support or not, therefore I ask here.
