That is determined by what you set in Sharing, Security after
right-clicking onthe folder. Please note that it is USERs not PC's that
determine what they can use.

thats what i was thinking too, since i keep seeing the other client logging
on as guest on my computer to leech. if i create an extra account just for
someone how can i have him log on with that user name? windows doesnt ask
for a name when u go into the network neighborhood.

It will if you disable "Guest" account.(which is recommended for
security anyway) You may want to review the information in Windows 2000
