So are you saying that one should disable simple file sharing in Windows?

Yes, This is called force guest.
It maps any connections to the machine to the guest account.
It turns off the admin shares on the XP machine, too (admin$, c$).
If you are trying to use any central management tools, (For Kaspersky, in my
case), they don't work.

If you join an XP machine to a Windows domain, it gets turned off as part of
the process.
Not sure about a Samba domain, because I had done it before I joined any
machines (but I would think so....)

Here's the registry key, if you want to add it to a script....:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"forceguest"=dword:00000000
