How to set password on Shared Documents folder (win XP home), to ask
password before accessing via LAN?



Like WinNT and Win2K before it, WinXP's file security paradigm
doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password protection
for individual applications, files, or folders. Instead, it uses the
superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to
individual users and/or groups.

Of course, if you have WinXP Pro, you can encrypt the desired
files/folders.

As a crude work-around, you can place the file in a compressed
folder, and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents. Also, some applications allow the user to password-protect
their specific data files. Read the specific application's Help files
for further information on this capability.

Well, to be more specific: I want set password for SharedDocuments
folder only, since other folders is not accessible via LAN(by default).
I am not sure I need to reconfigure User Accounts in Windows XP, since
each PC have full Admin permissions, no other users(and NOT necessary).
