Can you create a user on computer A and give rights only to that user then when computers try to connect to the share it should prompt them for credentials.

I have 5 machines on a Linksys network hub. Computers A, B and C have Windows XP installed. Computers D and E have Windows 98SE installed. I have a folder on computer A that needs to be shared with Computer D. But, I don't want any of the other computers on the network to see the folder. Then... another issue... In Windows 98SE, when you right-click a folder, and select SHARE, you can input a password for FULL ACCESS... meaning, even though the file or folder is being shared on the network, you still need a password to access it and make any changes. Now, with Windows XP, its all different. If you right-click a file, and hit SHARE, you can share the file/folder, but you can't give it a password. Is there anyway I can make it password protected so that any other computer on the network trying to access will be required to enter a pass? ---Troth To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
