Network - Login window during connection

We have 10 computers in the same network in our company. 6 of them work with
XP PRO and 4 of them with XP HOME. When other users from their pc try to
connect with my pc -Xp PRO SP3- (Through network connections-> View workgroup
computers-> selecting my pc), a login window comes up asking for username and
password. Although it is easy to connect, as username is known among us and
there is no password, i wonder if there is a way to avoid this login window
and connecting to my pc only by double click. This issue does not happen in
any other computers.

Thank you in advance.

You may want to enable guest account if you don't want to enter the
password. Or this search result may help.
