    When we turn on sharing on our computer, all computers in the network can access the shared folders on my computer.
    I wish to put a network password to my computer so that only the users in the network who know the password can access my shared folders. (This way I can share folders with only the ppl with whom I want to share folders in the network)
    How do I set a network password for my computer in Win XP SP 2?
