    I'm sure there is probably a simple answer to this but I don't know that much about networking. I an on a college network and I want to make a folder shared on the network but with a password. I've seen this on many computers on the network but I don't know how to do it. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Right click on the folder and you can set the password in the properties section.
