Administrative Share Access on Windows 7 Professional from XP Professional on workgroup

Have an XP Pro and Win 7 Pro machine on same workgroup.  Trying to access administrative shares for each of the drives on the Win 7 Pro machine, from the Win XP Pro machine.  Shares such as e$ and f$.
Here's what I've already done, and I'm at least getting the logon screen, however It is not accepting the logon info, and I'm positive it's correct:

In secpol.msc

Browsed to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options" changed entry for "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
In the Advanced sharing settings page of Network and sharing center:

-Enable network discovery
-Turn on  file and print sharing
-Turn off password protected sharing
-Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
-Encryption disabled.

“gpedit.msc”
In “Computer Configuration”/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Settings:

Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares

Also, it takes a good 30 seconds or so after typing \\old-pc\username in Run for the logon window to appear.

Thank you in advance.

Are you using admin credentials of the win7 box?

Yes

For the username, there is only one user account that i created, and is a member of Administrators and HomeUsers.  When I enter the credentials on the Win XP machine, I enter as follows:

WIN7PC\Username
password
