I have 2 WinXP Pro machines in my home. They are networked via a wireless
router.

Machine A is where each of 5 users have their files in their own areas.

On machine B, each user can access their files on machine A.

My problem is that users on machine B can access any user's files on machine
A. Can I set it so that machine B users only see their own files on machine
A?

Thanks,

Steven

On machine A, disable "simple file sharing" and set up the appropriate
permissions on each shared folder. Full, illustrated details here:
