Newsgroupers,

I read Jerry Honeycutts article "Sharing in the Home Office" about
Advanced File Sharing. In the article he comes up with a situation
in which he works on an article and wants to edit it remote and at
the same time keeping others from accessing.
That is what I want and need. But whatever I tried on that front it
is to no avail.

I have two networked XP Prof (SP2) machines connected and can see
more than I want.
Simple File Sharing is disabled on both machines.
Accounts and passwords are the same except for one account. This
account does not exist at the machine where the shared folder
intended for "private" use is located (machine_A a.k.a. server).
I have tried to implement this policy several times now but the
"unaccounted on machine_A" user can see and edit the article in the
shared folder on machine_A from machine_B (client). And yes, I have
removed the everyone from the permissions.

Please advise

TIA,

pablo k

User guest had been added to the local group Guests! Problem solved now.

Newsgroupers,

I thought this was the solution. It was not.
The solution was deleting the local profile for the user and starting
with a complete new profile. From that moment on, it functioned as should.
