Hi, I have a home network and I recently upgraded from Win98 to XP. With Win98 I used to be able to assign two passwords to every folder I shared on the network (one read-only and one for full access) that way if somebody want to view the files from another pc in the network he would need the read-only password and if he wants to modify anything he would need the full access password). Well since I upgraded to XP Home Edition it don't have a choice to password protect the shared folder (at least it don't have it on the folder properties > sharing and security tab as Win98 had it). Now my question is does anybody knows how could I password protect the folders I share on the network using XP??
