Single laptop, several user accounts.
How do I restrict access for those users to the Shared folder only. That
is, when they login, I want them to be placed in that Shared folder and
not be able to view or access anything else ...
They will have to access their own user account. As for anything else, use
permissions.

By default in XP Home, you can only make files and folders under My Documents
"private". Otherwise, to see the security tab in WinXP Home, restart in Safe
mode and log on with an account that has administrator privileges. To get
into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the computer is starting up.
This will get you to the menu where you can choose Safe Mode.
Note that the file system must be NTFS, not FAT32.
If you have XP Home, you won't have the ability to create fine-grained
permissions. If this is important, upgrade to XP Pro, Vista Business, or
Windows 7 Pro when it comes out 10/22.
