restrict access of remote desktop

[Guest]

I have 3 computers on a home network - all are XP pro SP2. the are all in the
workgroup HOME and all have simple filesharing

On one pc I have enabled remote desktop connection to allow friends to
access a database (over the web) - they use a username (fest) which is in the
"remote desktop users" group ( set via userpasswords2)

But I don't want my friends to see the rest the shared files of my workgroup

I want this username (fest) to bascially have no access to shared files.
either on the local machine but more importantly not in the rest of the
workgroup,
- preferably by building a wall around the "fest" on the machine used for
remote desktop connection. ( rather than changing file permissions on every
computer in the network).

Ideas please - thanks in advance

Hi
It does not make sense to use Remote Desktop to share data.
You cam install an ftp server and make the data available through ftp
connection.
Windows includes IIS ftp server,

Or you can use this free server,

This page explains how to make a connection available through the Internet,
