I'm sharing a data folder in Windows XP and I wanted to make users on other
computers input a password to access the folder. With Windows 2000 I was
able to input permissions and passwords for users\user groups when I shared
the folder. In XP, once I share the folder it seems like everyone in the
workgroup can access the folder on my computer.
With Windows XP I think you can only setup users as administrators or
limited users and you do not get an option to enter a password on the shared
folder like you do with permissions\user groups.
From what I can see, you need to have a domain in order to setup user groups
and permissions and I do not think you can create a domain in XP like you can
with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003.
Is there anyway for me to require others to input a password to access a
shared folder on my computer?
Thank you Ron Lowe and Malke for your prior replies. Since my last question
was not clear due to the fact that I added it to a prior post, I reposted the
question in a seperate post.
