We have a couple of newer PC that have XP pro, I want to share a document folder with another user but not everyone on the network, how do I set a password to share the folder? I'm going crazy reading microsoft help, it just goes in cirles and don't really give an answer.

You just have to add the intended users that you want to have acess to the folders. To do so open control panel and select users icon and go through the steps of adding the users. The login and password must be exactly the same as used on each local PC. Now you can allow them to connect to whatever you share.

Then when you go to the folder you want to share right click on it and select sharing. Click on permissions and select only the users you want.

You can also set different levels af access like read only etc..........
