Use your mouse to select the type of file sharing access that you want other users to have. If you want to assign access password(s), type them into the Password box(es).

If you are sharing a cable modem or DSL braodband connection that you will be using to access the Internet, you should protect all of your shared drives and printers with private passwords.

When you're done, click on the Apply button, followed by OK. Your drive(s) can now be accessed from other users whenever they click on their Windows Network Neighborhood icons. If a user tries to access one of your drives or folders that's password-protected, he or she will be asked for the appropriate Read-Only or Full access password.
