    Hi all.

    I have a home network, desktop and laptop, both running XP Pro SP2.Both
    machines have 3 users.

    This is my problem: I want to see my documents on both machines over the
    network, so i set the folders to ‘share on network’. I can now see laptop
    docs from desktop and vice-versa. However, if someone else logs on, because
    my docs is a shared folder, others can also see my files.

    Can you please tell me how to set up so that my docs is shared, but only
    visible to me. Do I have to set permissions somewhere in the hidden depths
    of Windows? Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Phil.
