In Windows XP, the Domain serves as a centralized network environment that allows multiple computers to connect and share resources such as files and printers. It provides a framework for managing user accounts, security policies, and permissions across all machines within the network, simplifying administration. Domains are typically used in corporate or institutional settings to enhance security and manageability compared to workgroup configurations.
Excude it from the domain in your computer settings and after that encryption will disappear.
If your windows XP Professional based PC is connected to a domain, you can not add a user to the domain. This must be done on the server, and added in the active directory. If you just want to add a user ( not on a domain ), then go to START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - USER ACCOUNTS
All that I have found so far involves making the PC leave the domain by joining a workgroup, then rejoining the domain.

I think it can be connected in a peer to peer setup. Connect through a hub/switch or any networking. and proceed normally.it should work.anyway XP home can't be connected to a domain.

The local computer name.
If your computer is part of a domain, you won't see the "Switch User" choice on logout. This is because that functionality is disabled for Domain-homed Windows machines.
