Hello,

I have 3 pc's in a network.
When I share a folder I can see this folder on all pc's.
Is it possible to share this folder only to one pc and not to another pc in
the network

Thanks in advance

Erik,

What edition of Windows XP (are you using Windows XP) on each computer?  Home?
Pro?  MCE?  This makes a difference.  With XP Home, Simple File Sharing, and
Guest authentication, what's available to one computer (local user account) will
be available to all computers (local user accounts).  You'll need XP Pro with
non-Guest authentication.
