Hi all I have a question for you all Networking Expert out there. Im running a small networking at my house. this Network consist of 3 computers : My computer, My sister's and My mom's. My computer act as a Network Harddrive, I share a lot of Files in my computer. Sometimes my sister like to pull over some files from my computer, but there are some folders where i dont like her to open. Im thinking to Password Protect a certain folders, so whenever she or my mom open those certain folders a pop up will show up asking for password (im thinking to password protect because sometimes I need to able to access those folders from either my mom's or sister's computer) Is there anyway to do this? third party Program? all computers in my network running Windows XP.
In SAFE MODE, it gives u several other options that dont appear in regualr windows... and it has like user restricions and stuff... Lemme get back to u on that... But then u'll have a problem opening it from other computers.... hmmm
Might hidding the folders not be enough, i mean as long as you only need to keep your sister and mom out. Or are they computer savy. Most normal PC users have the hidden folders, well hidden, so it might do. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/index.htm
im not using simple file sharing I have xp pro and I unchecked simple file sharing. What I want Is to password protect shared folders/files, so whenever someone try to access those folder a prompt message pop up asking for user name and password.
