Secure your file in a XP Workgroup network

To share your files in a XP Work group network with secure setting so that no everyone can access your shared files, do this:

• Turn OFF the Easy Sharing in the Folder Option
• In your permission list, REMOVE "Everyone"
• Add your local workgroup login account in the list, give it all permission
• In your client machine, reference to your server machine,, like "\\myway". A user name and password dialog box will show up. Enter the proper user and password ON the server machine. You don't need to add the machine qaulifier, just the user name and password would be fine. You can also check to checkbox to store the user name and password locally.
  
• If you screw up while you enter the user name and password, you may need to log out and log in account in order to trigger that username dialog box to show up again.
