Squire - I have read your post on the 18th and the answers you were
given should have sufficed.

Still here it is again.

Firstly disable Simple File Sharing. - This has been explained to you
already.
Then once you have disable "simple file sharing "you can see the
Security tab on the properties of both folders and files.
Now all you need to do is read the Help and Support about File and
Folder Permissions and apply them as you see fit.
Either enabling certain user access to files and folders or even using
the deny access permission to explicitly exclude named users.
all of this is covered in the help. Don't forget top push through the
permissions to all files and folders from a parent (if this is what you
want).

You should also have no expectation that you are "owed" an answer from
anybody in these peer to peer groups. If people do not choose to reply
to you then multiple posts will only make them more inclined to not
answer you in future, this is just good netiquette.

Finally the Help and Support center does actually contain a great number
of answers and help to questions such as yours.
