Question 1) I am a very novice defacto administrator of a small 4 pc WinXP
pro network. I've disabled simpplified file sharing across the network. I
wish to, for example, give (limited) User2 on PC2 access to let's say
FolderX on PC1. I've shared FolderX but have not set permissions.
I've fiddled on PC2 logged in as User2. I've drilled through the network in
Windows Explorer, and in attempting to access PC1 it has asked me to login
with a username and password. I've used an administrator account to do so,
and ticked remember password (stupidly!), and now User2 has permanent
access to all of PC1. How can I revoke this login?
Question 2) What I just cannot understand is how to set permissions for
other users accross the network to access certain folders only. Again, use
the above model. I am logged in with admin rights as User1 on PC1. I'm
looking at Sharing & Security on FolderX. I'm thinking to delete permissions
for Everyone and then add specific permissions for say User2. However the
only location I can choose from is the local PC. In other words, I could
easily set permissions for different users on PC1 but not across the
network. What am I doing wrong? I belive I need to set permissions under
both the Sharing and Security tabs.
What I need is a simple step by step guise to this stuff. Thanks heaps
