That is the problem in XP Home. You can only create shares that are
available to everyone - not specific users like in XP Pro. If you create a
share and can give access to only a specific user then no one will be able
to access the share because in XP Home all users authenticate to shares as
guest and not as themselves. XP Home was not designed to be a secure
operating system for network access control. --- Steve

hi. i understand that, but Knox's idea which gives me the security tab
should enable me to set it up (i think). i am able to set share
ermissions - i just haven't quite gotten the syntax correct.
for example, i can regularly add 'everyone' to protected shares to open
them up...i just don't know specifically what to add to allow "ME" access
thru the network.

To do that you would need to use XP Pro on your main computer because XP
Home
only uses simple file sharing which means that everyone must have share
and
folder permissions to the share for anyone to access it. In XP Pro you
can
disable simple file sharing and thus give specific users/groups instead
of
everyone share permissions. --- Steve

my main machine is running XP-Home but has doug knox's kludge security
tab:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_home_sectab.htm
(this lets me have an xp pro-like security tab in xp home.)
other machines are both xp-home and xp-pro.
i have a 2nd drive in my main machine (F:). i have restricted access on
that machine to ME (no other logon has accces to that drive).
i have identical logons on all my other machines (same username/pw).
no users on any of the other machines can access f:, but i would like
access
to it (when i'm logged on as ME). i can't figure out what to enter in
the
Security tab to enable this.
can anyone help? thanks
p.s. i had been accomplishing this using hidden drives, but i find when
i
use \\main\f$ , the action of me typing that string in causes it to hang
around on that remote machine and thus others are able to see it. my
preference is a drive that's totally closed to everyone other than user
=
ME.
