I'm at university where we have all our computers connected to the network. Of course this is used to share a variety of files, but is there any way I can see who is accessing my Shared Folder and maybe send them a message / kick them off?

Thanks!

Hi,
In Windows '98 there is a monitor for this. On NT/2000 there is a utility to see what is currently going on, but I can't remember the name :(

Why have a shared folder if you don't want to share whats in it? Just remove the share, then no one will be in there.

in windows 2000, go into administrative tools in the control panel. In administrative tools, there should be a link called computer manager, go into this, under the option 'shared folders', there are 3 sub-folders, go into sessions, here you can see the users accessing your shared folders and close the session if necessary.
In windows 95/98, there is an application (something like network monitor) in which you can see all the users accessing your pc.

Hope this helps

Cheers - It sure did.

- However are there any external programs which does the same (or more)? - for example I would like to log what people are grabbing or get an alert when somebody connects.

Are you running windows xp pro? There is a local security auditing policy that you can set in windows xp professional using ntfs. Enabling object access will allow you to monitor users accessing shared folders. Reference this link.
