XP Guest Network Storage Access

How do you allow the Guest account on a Win-XP system to access shared storage via the network?
The admin account has the remote filesystem mapped as drive Z and has full access.
From the Guest account the Z drive is not visible and attempts to access the remote filesystem via the Windows Network fail.

Never use guest.
Create a new local account and assign it a password. Give it permissions to the directory in question. Map drive from other PC. Let me know if you need more details.
