xp sharing....

[fredo5]

i recently got windows xp (and loving it), but the one thing i haven't been able to figure out yet is how to password-protect shared folders on my network. i've looked pretty much everywhere i can think of, but i still haven't found it, if anyone can help i'd really appreciate it.....


thanks in advance, fredo

if you've got xp professional, just go into folder options/view tab. the last option is "use simple file sharing". Turn that bad boy off and you're set.
