I have turned off Simple File Sharing and have the folder shared on the LAN fine. However I am unable to Google myself instructions on how to password protect this folder. Any information I've found always assumes the network/computers are using a Domain, which is not true and I intend it to stay that way (ie: no domain, just a workgroup).

Any ideas? I'd rather not have to find or purchase 3rd party software for this.
Am I able to password protect folders in WinXP Pro without setting up a domain?

Thanks!
