Using Shared Folders, you can create, view, and set permissions for shared
files and folders.

XP does not use passwords to protect resources. It uses permissions
instead. Here is information to help you with that:

How to disable Simple Sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in
Windows XP (Pro only)

Passwording of folders is not supported unless you zip them. When you do
(right click a folder, then "send to --> compressed folder") and then
open the zip file, you will find an option under file/"add a password".
Otherwise, use third-party software. Google "password protect folders".

Passwording of compressed folders may be disabled if you install WinZip
(maybe other zipper apps as well).

Good point, but then they can use WinZip's passwording capability
instead of XP's.
