Setting up Workgoup hiddenshares

Hello Networking whiz's of Anandtech...

Im trying to setup a home network in a workgroup with hidden shares.

Im running 2 machines with XP PRO and one with XP Home. Id like the harddrives to all be accessable through the C$ and D$ that they come with. I cant seem to access them. When I try to UNC to them It asks for a password to the Guest account. How can I just have it prompt me for an admin account and gain access...

Another note:

In admin tools, computer management, shares, I do not get any of the options to create a new share, Properties of the share. Its only Reset and Help. What gives? In a domain all of these options are avaliable.
