How to force entering login+password before accessing a shared folder ?

[Peter Eisenman]

I declared a certain folder on my system as shared (for Everyone).
However I want users on remote computers that they have to enter a local login name +
corresp.local password whenever the want to access this shared folder.

How do I do this?

Currently they only need to map a drive letter with this folder and they can automatically
read and write as they want.

Hello Peter,

There is a conflict with setting 'Eveyone' to have access and requiring
users to authenticate themselves.

The correct way to do this is:
1. Create local users + passwords
2. Create a local security group that contains these users (from step 1)
3. Set the NTFS permissions on the folder to 'Change rights' for the group
in step 2
4. Share the folder and give the group in step 2 Change rights on the Share
level

If you want to be more restrictive for some users (read rights) create a
separate local security group and repeat step 3 and 4 with 'read rights'.
