Dear All,

I'm using Windows XP. When I share my folder, I don't find password access
like in Windows 98. I also can not setup read only permission. Why ?
Thanks for helping.

Passworded folders were a Windows 9x feature. It doesn't exist natively in
Windows XP.
Windows XP uses File and Folder permissions.

What do YOU mean by "read only permission"?
Read-Only attribute is easy to set.
Making it readable/executable only by a select group/user is also easily
done using File & Folder Permissions on an NTFS formated system.

I don't see any menu "File and Folder Permissions".
Where I can find that menu ?
Thanks.

Right Click on the folder you wish to share and set permissions for. Select
properties. Select Sharing and Security. You will find the Share
permissions under this tab. Select Permissions tab for NTFS permissions.
Please keep in mind that the Share Permissions and NTFS Permissions combine
to give you the LEAST of the two settings. As a rule of thumb, I always give
full control for SHARE and then set NTFS permissions as I desire.

I can see a check mark to share, but I don't see any menu to set
permissions. I mean there is no menu to setup which user can access and type
of permission (read/write/delete).
I think I don't use NTFS.
Thanks.

I assume you are using windows explorer, click Tools-->folder
options-->View...scroll down until u see "use simple file sharing". uncheck
the tick box and there u have it.
