I know XP Home cannot join a domain, but can it map a drive letter to a network location?

TIA
 
Yes, but you'll have to be careful with permissions. If the share is on a domain joined machine, it will require the connecting computer to present a username/password. I don't know if XP Home will let you do this or just flat out say no. One way to know is to give it a shot :)

I havent worked with xp home recently, but if I recall correctly it will prompt you for username/password and you have to enter:
domain\username
password
