Which version of Windows XP does the desktop have?

XP Home Edition doesn't have administrative shares like C$.

To enable administrative shares on XP Professional, disable simple
file sharing.

Is your desktop C$ drive shared?

Right-click "My Computer" - Manage - System Tools - Shared Folders
- Shares
Verify that "C$" is in the "Shared Folder" column.
Verify that you are trying to connect with an account with
Administrator privilege.
Right-click the "C" drive - Properties - Security
and make sure the settings allow access.

HTH,
John

Any drive share ending with $ is usually reserved for the
administration of the drive(s) and might require an "administrator"
type account.
