Default Simple File sharing on Vista as it was on XP...possibe or not?

I read that the simple file sharing was stoped on Vista but if i share an
external USB2 hard disk i can acess it from other systems with Vista or XP
without setting any accounts on Vista OS...can some one explain to me how
was this possible? Even i set the accounts on Vista from an administrator
account of an XP system, i can't acess the shares on
Vista...this is not working as it was a domain in 2k or 2k3...there aren't
the same tools and options...can some one
give me some tips about this new sharing system in Vista.

Txs all.
