Password Protecting Network Shared Drives

[imported_bassboypete]

Hey guys

it seems that my brother is getting a little too noisy of my files on my computer. How can I password protect the drive so that when I try to log in from another computer to access my shared files, it asks me for a password. I have XP pro, and would prefer not to download 3rd party apps, as I don't think they do that well.

Thanks

Turn off 'simple file sharing' and you can set permissions.

I tried that, I added my user name, and still everyone can access my files. I would add just a computer, but I don't have the option to search the network. Just the current computer.

on the "Security" tab of the folder, remove all users/groups except you, then check the "full control" box just for you.

I did just that, and no password box pops up at all, other computers have full access.

have you set a password for yourself? do you have to log in to that computer?
