Default Adding Other Boot's Computer Name to list of File Security Locations?

Hi Folks:

I'm still not having luck giving my Win7/64's account access to my
XP account's private folders and files on the same dual boot machine.

I hoped giving both boots the same computer name and both accounts
the same name might allow me to get away with it. But that hasn't worked.

When I open the folder's Properties - Security - Add (Group or user
names) I'm asked to select a location. But the only location available
is the active (XP) boot's computer name. Even if I use a different name
for the Win7 boot, how can I add it to this list?

I hope adding the other boot's computer name to the list will be the
first step in allowing me to share these private files.

I'd prefer to have both boots use the same computer name, but it's
OK if I need to use a different name when running Wini7.

Thanks
Larry
