Yep, you have to type *something* in for the username and password at boot
else you can't browse the network. If that's a nuisance you can download
TweakUI from Microsoft (or other download sources) and use that control
panel's auto-logon setting.

BTW, you only have to run File and printer sharing on the machine that is
doing the sharing.
