Ok, but can u please explore it in more detail.. I mean y will it ask for password, how to set up the pass.. and how to set up for sharing in such a way that other users can see the folders but wen they open it, it will ask for password.. One more thing if i disabled file sharing how can i see shared folders on any other computer becoz from network places, if i clik on workgroup computers it wont show anything..isn't so..
