I have 3 computers all using xp pro on a network. I cannot access the any of the hard drives thru the network. It says permission is denied , please contact the Admin, which is me. How do I set up my network with full access to all files on each computer?
 
The easiest way is to right click the folders on each client machine you
want to share and click on sharing and security. XP will then set the
appropriate permissions. For our home network we simply share the root of
each C drive. XP gives a warning to you about sharing the root of the
drive. Since we are all family here it is no biggie as far as we are
concerned.

That is the easiest way I've found after setting up 3 different "home
networks" where user integrity was not a question. This may be acceptable in
your scenario as well.

Disable simple file sharing. Then log on with a user account that exists on
the PC you are trying to access.
