Ouch...if you have 70 computers, I sure hope you aren't using a workgroup.
And if you have a domain, you really ought to be storing all your data &
controlling shares/security on the server itself, not on workstations.
Centralize, centralize, centralize. Will make your life a lot easier. You
can use groups on the server to control security to any share.

Unlike Win9x, you can't set up password-protected shares. For
WinXP/2000/2003 use NTFS security instead - you can control a LOT more that
way.

Use groups - if you're on a domain, and want some/all users to access this,
you can add the domain group to the NTFS security settings. For a workgroup,
you should create all users/passwords identically on all computers (and you
can create groups in WinXP too). But with that many computers, as I said, a
workgroup really makes no sense, and in a domain, you shouldn't be storing
data locally or using workstation shares for data. That's what your server
is for.

Hope this helps.
