Sharing
of files and folders can be managed in two ways. If
you chose simplified file sharing, your folders can
be shared with everyone on your network or workgroup,
or you can make your folders private. (This is how
folders are shared in Windows 2000.) However, in Windows
XP Professional, you can also set folder permissions
for specific users or groups. To do this, you must
first change the default setting, which is simple
file sharing. To change this setting, follow these
steps:
•Open Control Panel, click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
•Click the View tab, and scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings list.
•Clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
•To manage folder permissions, browse to the folder in Windows Explorer, right–click the folder, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab, and assign permissions, such as Full Control, Modify, Read, and/or Write, to specific users.
