[Abhishek Kumar Srivastava]

Thanks for Reply.
But still problem is same.
Actually i am not able to see that option(Make This Folder
Private) when i right click upon C:\Docuemtn and
Setting\User Profile\Any Folder and select the properties
option on that.
I am using NTFS file system and Such type of packages like
Norton Antirus. Acrobat Reader, Winzip, And Client32
Utility for Novell Server.
So is it possible that this problem is comming due to
running of these program. I am using Windows XP
Professional Version 5.1.2600.
And My PC is register in Domain. Domain Server is Windows
2000 Server.
I tried upon some other PC also but still problem was
reamin same.
So can u help me out about it.
Any other information u want from me then please let us
know.

Ultimatily my AIM is to protect the shared folder by
password accross the Network in LAN with Windows XP and
Windows 98 system. Is it possible.

NT-based systems like XP don't use share-level passwords like Win9x. On
NT-based systems, you control access by granting permissions to specific
users or groups (rather than setting a password on a share).

In explorer, Right Click on the folder you are sharing, click properties,
and you should see a security tab that will allow you to control access via
users or groups.

The recommended way to manage access control is to grant permissions to
local groups that are defined on the XP box then add\remove user accounts
from your domain to that local group. For example, if you grant GroupX Read
Permissions to your directory, then any user account that is a member of
GroupX also gets Read access.

You can also manage permissions (not passwords) on the share itself, but
managing permissions on both the share and the underlying directory can be
confusing e.g. if you don't keep them in synch. Personally, I would just
set the NTFS permissions - share permissions are an artifact of FAT
partitions.

Hope that helps,
