Folder Sharing Restrictions, Any way to set them?
This is a discussion about Folder Sharing Restrictions, Any way to set them? in the Windows Networking category; In win2k, I used to be able to share specific folders on my hd, but only to specific acounts that i designated. For Example, i used to share my whole d drive to an acount that i used with my laptop, and i would share a general folder to the public, therefore, the public couldnt see my whole hard drive.

Is there any way to share a folder to a specific username/password like in win2k??

open Control Panel. Open Folder Options.
I don't have the OS in front of me, but I believe it's the last item in the list. It has something to do with Simple File Sharing.
UNCHECK the box. This will allow you to change file/folder permissions like normal.
One bad thing I've noticed is that when assigning permissions you don't get to browse the list of users/groups. You have to type the names in. I don't know if this is different on a domain, but I don't have one and that's what mine does.
Hope this helps.

Shakedown - You can get a list of users with 2 more button clicks.
Ummmm, I forget (I'm in Win2K at the moment :-( ) but it's something like Locate and Find???
