hi

i have winxp and i have netwroked it with my friedn its a simple networking
both can share files but i want to protect some files or folders by using
password like in windows 98 is it possible ??
 
Windows 2000 and Windows XP use share and ntfs permissions to manage what users can
access a share. You add users to the local users on the computer via lusrmgr,msc
offering the share and then grant them permissions to the share in conjunction with
ntfs permissions to a folder [assuming ntfs permissions are used]. XP Home works a
bit differently of which I am not very familiar with and is not as secure. The links
below may help. --- Steve

applies to W2K also except W2K does not offer simple file sharing
