network sharing folder

[michael]

i got 5 pc in office network same workgroup, but i share out folder on pc01 but i dun want few pc can acess and view my pc01 folder. what can i do?

You can use the dollar sign $ at the end of the share name. This will hide the share from being displayed on the network.

When you want to access the share, you'll have to type \\computername\sharedfolder$
Or you can disable simple file sharing from Folder Options.

got other choise? if i want other pc view my share folder on pc01 using password . izit can do that?

[Raymond]

Disable simple file sharing from Folder Options. You can create accounts and set access rights.

Now i can see security and sharing tabs, but how i add network user and access the share folder.

[Raymond]

Right click My Computer, select Manage. Expand system tools > Local users and Groups > Users.
You can create users there.
