I need to password protect the shared folders on an XP machine. I have a peer-tp-peer net wirh XP and ME. Its very simple to password protect on ME. XP doesn't seem to have the same option.

Thanx

Adam

If it is home you can't and if it is pro you have to make a registry change to get it to show the security tab on the properties dialog.
