Windows XP Home and simple file sharing...

BlueSeptember · 08-08-06, 07:42 PM

Problem: Windows XP Home allows file sharing so I have an access to my files from Axim but not only from Axim.
Question: Is there any way to set it up that way so nobody else connected to network will have an access to my files on Desktop? As far as I know I can do it only for everybody or nobody. If yes what additional software do I have to install?

I ve heard about some hidden "advanced file sharing" method from Administrator level in Windows XP Home but I got little lost.

[Axim x51v, A12, WA2, WAD, Resco file Exp, Pocketbreeze 5.....]

I think you can password protect the shared folder then only people with the password can access it.
