Remote Access with out a password

[Larry]

I have asked the question before and I received a solution. Unfortunately
that was some time ago.

I am running Windows XP Home and I want to be able to access my computer
remotely. I do not use a password for this computer.

Can someone tell me how to set this option?

Thanks
