I'm running Windows XP Pro and I'm on a ethernet in my apartment complex. I want to be able to let my three roommates access my shared folders, but not everyone else in the apartment complex, but I don't know how to password protect the folders I want to share. I know in Win98 all you had to do was set access rights and password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
