I have a 4 pc's networked together using a router. pc1
has 2 folders that need to be shared (read/write) with
pc2 and pc3. I don't want pc4 to be able to access these
folders.

I read that I can get to the folder security tab by
booting in safe-mode. Can I set permissions on the 2
folders to only have read/write access to specific
computers or workgroups? If not, is there anything I can
do to prevent pc4 from seeing pc1 shared folders? I need
to have pc4 on the network to access the internet.

thanks, lisa
 
Right click on the folder, Sharing and Security should do the trick. You do
not need to be in safe mode.
