Thanks Steve for the link to your web site it was helpful. What I'm getting
out of this is that I cannot restrict the share from computer/2 in computer
1's account. What I did was highlight the shared drive and took out
"everyone" and assigned permission from the user account that resides on
computer 1. When I went to computer 2 now it asks me for a password to
access the drive "Great". One thing is bad, is that after I disconnect the
drive from computer 2, and try to reconnect the drive, it reconnects without
prompting for a password. Is there anyway to have it prompt for a password
everytime I map the drive from computer 2. I even tired to search for files
throught windows media player throught the shared music files on computer 1
"the all user account" and it goes right in without a password. Then when I
go to drive D it loggs on automatically without a password. Basically all I
want to do is share the music folder permately from all three computers and
block everything else from access.
Thanks
George
