User access to single folder
Single laptop, several user accounts.
How do I restrict access for those users to the Shared folder only. That is, when they login, I want them to be placed in that Shared folder and not be able to view or access anything else ... Thanks, Ferg -- Nowisthetime4allgoodmen2come2theaidoftheircountry

As for anything else, use permissions. How to disable Simple Sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP (Pro only) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307874 By default in XP Home, you can only make files and folders under My Documents "private". Otherwise, to see the security tab in WinXP Home, restart in Safe mode and log on with an account that has administrator privileges. To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the menu where you can choose Safe Mode. Note that the file system must be NTFS, not FAT32. If you have XP Home, you won't have the ability to create fine-grained permissions. If this is important, upgrade to XP Pro, Vista Business, or Windows 7 Pro when it comes out 10/22.
