Passwording Shared Folders

I have Win2k running on two machines and WinXP running on a third. They're all networked through a router I have setup and can see each other and share files fine. The only problem I have is password protecting the WinXP computer.

I have Win2k running on two machines and WinXP running on a third. They're all networked through a router I have setup and can see each other and share files fine. The only problem I have is password protecting the WinXP computer. When I try to access files on my Win2k machines, they ask for a login and password, but when I try to access files on the WinXP machine, I just log directly into the drive and can do whatever I want. It doesn't ask me for a login or a password. Anybody know how I can setup WinXP shares so they require a password to access? Thanks.
