Problem with folders sharing on LAN

Hi everyone,

I have a XP station in a LAN. My file system is NTFS. I want my friends on the LAN to see some folders, so I created an account that can't logon locally, but has rights to some folders. I set the rights in the NTFS security and in the sharing permissions.
If a user is mapping a folder through "map network drive" command, he sees a prompt for user name and password, and when he enters them, the mapping succeeds.
But, if a user browses the network, he sees the folder list without entering user name and password, and when he double-clicks a folder in the explorer window, he doesn't see any prompt for user name, but an error "access is denied".
Does someone have any idea?

Thanks

P.S.
1. It worked fine before I reinstalled XP.
2. I am not infected by the worm, and the problem occured before the worm was discoverd.
