Under Windows 98SE, when I shared a folder I was asked to input a password for the folder, but under XP Home, the only option I see is to share the file. I want to share it, but I want to password protect that folder, so how do I do it, or is it possible with XP?

I must be doing something wrong or completely missing something obvious because XP is suppose to be all about security, and I can't believe it only offers an unconditional sharing of the folder.

Help please! [img]smile.gif[/img]
