private sharing in win xp sp2 workgroup

[Guest]

I Have 8 user workgroup . When I share sth any people in network can see it
and if I allow network user to change it any user can change it. Is there any
way to set limitation to it. for example I want just one of my network user
can change the file in my computer but the other just can see it or ueven
can't see it. I use win xp pro and I remove check box of (use simple file
sharing) in folder option/view.my file sharing menu change and I can set
permission to users to change my file(read,change,full control),but I can't
add network users in group and usernames. how can I add a network user in
this place .If it's impossible is there any other way?

In a workgroup, the user account database is local to each computer.
To give permission to a user on another computer, create the same user
on the local computer and configure permissions for it. Details here:

thank you very much. but there is a problem.new user acconts will be activate
in the host pc and people who knows the password can access to all data in
host pc. how can I remove new user account which I added before for network
usage from the welcome screen of win xp. I don't want to use classic logon
prompt instead of welcome Screen.

Yes, by default all user accounts you create will be usable either across
the network, or for the user to sit downat the PC and log on locally. And
by logging on locally, he may bypass the share permissions. ( Although you
could still set up NTFS permissions to restrict this. )

If you want to create a user account that is only good for network access,
but the user cannot log on directly at that machine, then:

Start | Run | secpol.msc;
Navigate to:
Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignment
In the Right-hand pane, double-click 'Deny logon Locally'.
Add User or Group;
Add the user account you wish to deny local logon to.

how can I remove new user account which I added before for network
usage from the welcome screen of win xp.
I don't want to use classic logon
prompt instead of welcome Screen.

Setting 'Deny logon locally' may remove it from the welcome screen.

If not,
Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \
CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
Name the new value exactly as the Username
Leave the Value data as 0

If you want to enable this user again on the Welcome Screen, either
double-click the Username value, and change the Value data to 1, or delete
the Username
Close the registry editor
