Password Protecting Shared Files and or Folders

Posted: 11-04-2003, 04:59 AM
I currently have 2 computers running Windows XP Pro.
Both are on the same router. File and Internet sharing
works fine, but I would like to password protect the
shared files and folders. So when computer "A" trys to
access files from computer "B" I want it to ask for a
password before allowing computer "A" to gain access to
the folders and files.

In Windows 98, you could set a password directly in
the "Properties" window. I don't know how to do it in
Windows XP Pro. PLEASE HELP!
