Everytime i try and share anything on my network, all the users can have access to it. I have managed making sure that they can not change my files, but i can not figure out, how to put a passord, so that you will need a password to access my machine on the network. Anyone has any ideas on how to do this on a windows xp machine?

but only if using xp pro. There seems to be no solution for XP home.

And they kinda left off that you may need to add users in your machine's users with the same userid and passwords that are used by the other users to login to their own machine.
