Your described solution will work if both machines are running a version
of NT (Win2k, XP, NT). If the one desiring to connect is running Win9x,
however, the login prompt only requires a password; it does not prompt
for a username. I may be overlooking something here, but I don't think
that what you describe will work with a Win9x box. I note that David
Gillett also did a very detailed response to this topic.

available to me is whatshisname.  When I tell the gadget in whatsis
where to map to, it sends me to a login screen where I log into the
second machine as whatshisname, using whatshisname's password.  My local
machine has no objection to the fact that I'm logged into him as whosis
and onto the network as whatshisname. The remote machine, of course,
knows nothing about my local login, except that it has no user account
by that name.  Of course, whatshisname needs the appropriate rights and
permissions to log in remotely and use whatever resources he wants.
