xp home edition file sharing password?

It's not possible.:|:|:|:| You can only do that in xp pro. I was trying to do that also. I wonder if there is some other way to share files and password protect them.
 
I need to know some way to do it. Are there any registry tweaks or anything else I can do so that I can share files in xp home with a password? Thanks!
 
Don't know if this works for home edition (don't have home running to check)

"In Windows 2000, getting to the Sharing options for a folder was simple: Just right-click, choose Properties, and you'd see a Sharing tab. In Windows XP, this feature is missing by default, but you can make the system display the Sharing tab if desired. Simply open up Folder Options (My Computer, then Tools, Folder Options) and navigate to the View tab. In the Advanced Settings section, scroll down to the bottom and uncheck Use simple file sharing (Recommended), a Mickey Mouse feature if there ever was one. Now share your folders on the LAN as you would in Windows 2000."
