I am used to using networking with windows 98, where I could set passwords
for shared folders with seperate levels of access.

Recently, I have tried looking into setting up a workgroup on the local area
network with Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and it seems to have very little
capabiliy in this matter. I can tell it to share and whether or not others
can change files, but I cannot set passwords. What I also miss is the
netwatcher which allowed me to see who had had access to what files. IT
seems XP doesn't have this, either. Are there any equivelants to this
program, or does microsoft have a version for xp?
