Password protecting folders
I have a network drive that I want to be able to have password protected folders on, for item's that I do not want others on my network to have acess to as I let friends and family on my network and let them use some of my space.
What I want is just a basic simple straight forward passworded folder. Or something incredibly similar. Any suggestions? One Vista machine a few 98 machines and a few XP guys so If I can keep it universal that would be sweet!

You should be able to set NTFS permissions on that folder.
I am guessing you are in a workgroup configuration and not a DOMAIN structure. Create a "local" user and give sole share rights to that user, your clients will then be prompted for a username and password. Why don't you also think about suffixing the share with a "$", this will hide it from network browsing. All the best! Mark |
