That is a possibility considering all the security updates and I'm running
SP2 RC1 on one of the systems and its security is more robust than SP or
earlier and it is a Pro system not Home Edition. Nonetheless, I'm accessing
a system with neither SP1 or SP2 and still have the issue so it could be one
of the other security updates though, I think, Walter Clayton would have
factored that in.
 
One thing that might prevent the option for Simple File Sharing from
appearing is if the file system was FAT32 as opposed to NTFS as permissions
and ownership cannot be set on XP using FAT32. If your system is using that
as opposed to NTFS, you would need to convert the system to NTFS before
proceeding. See the following Knowledge Base Article for instructions:
