Basically, in a peer-to-peer network, each machine must have the SAME user
set up with the SAME password and the SAME access rights as the machine that
needs to access it. So, on the machine to which you wish to restrict access,
log on as administrator, and deny that user access to the files and folders
you don't want them to see. (Right click on the File or Folder, choose
Properties and go to the Security tab. If you don't see the Security tab,
then you need to turn off Simple File Sharing in Explorer-Tools-Folder
Options-View and scroll right to the bottom)
