Sharing folders only to certain users

[Guest]

I used to have windows 2000 Pro and it was great, i could shared folders to be access only by certain accountsl, how can i specify that in xp pro? for example, on my laptop i am logged as bob so if i want to access files on my laptop from my desktop, that i happens to share with my roomate, which i dont want him to have access to all my files on my laptop, how do i do that the way it was done in win2k. in xp, if u shared something, everyone has access to it, which obviously i dont want. Please help

Hi

Is your system NTFS and you will have to right click on the folder and select Sharing and Security and then configure it in the same way as Win 2000

thanks for the reply but if i right click on a folder i want to share, i only have the option to local share, and network share, and if i click on the network share but, that is all it does, it doesnt ask me to set permission for it. In w2k, when u shared a folder, u could specify if u wanted to share with everybody, administrator, power user, user A, user B, all, or just select one. Is there anything i have to change somewhere to be able to do this? BTW i do have a NTFS on both computer

See "help" in XP pro. Search for "sharing files" for full documentation
for how it will work on your machine.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
