The share permissions and the file system permissions are used together
to grant access to files and folders.
Normally you would want to manage group permissions, rather than
individual permissions. Since you are using "advanced" sharing I assume
you have disabled simple file sharing and you are using XP Pro.
Create accounts for everyone that will use the XP file server and make
them limited users. Create one for yourself to test. These folks must
logon to their own machine with this username and password to gain
transparent access to the XP file server.
Create a folder and set the permissions on the security tab for the
Users group, which is the group you put all your users in when you
created their accounts. You want to set "read" permissions. Logon to a
limited account of your own and verify that you can only read and
execute. Restrict or remove the Everyone account and the Guests account,
if present.
Now share the folder and give Users full permission. This will allow
them to see the shared folder, but the NTFS permissions will disallow
write permission. Make sure that Guest and Everyone are either
restricted or absent so they won't see anything. Now you can manage User
access using the NTFS permissions and not have to fiddle with both
permissions.
