This is Probably A Stupid Question

Over the weekend I had a LAN Party with some friends and when I tried to access one of my friends computers a thing came up in My Network Places asking for a password to access his computer. How do i setup my computer to where you need to password to access the shared files on it like this???

Right click the folder to share and selectsahring - then add in the username - depends on what os you are using.

All of the computers where in the same workgroup, where do i go to set up a password to access my computer on the workgroup?

I am Using Windows XP Home

[omendata]

Using explorer.

Select the folder

then right click and select sharing.

yea Sharing and Security.... right?? All that comes up is local sharing and security and network sharing and security

[omendata]

Network sharing and security is what you need.

[memize]

Nowhere in there is anything about changing or adding a password

[omendata]

Have you enabled file and print sharing for microsoft networks in the network control panel?

XP by default sets up a firewall on your LAN connections too...this may complicate the issue...
