Private network security

I recently did a clean install of 19042 on an old laptop to clean out years of leftover garbage, but getting it tied back into my private home network was a problem. Only 1 of the other 4 systems on the network could access drives on the laptop. I consistently got the "You do not have permission to access..." popup on the remaining 3. The laptop could access drives on all the others. Adding "Everyone" to security lists on the laptop drives solved the problem. I had been relying just on "Authenticated Users" for network access, but had no idea how to make the laptop "see" other computers on the network as authenticated. Are there any hidden risks in using Everyone on a private network with no public discovery and no passwords? Only Read & execute, List folder contents and Read are allowed.

Private folders encrypted and password protected folders

Im posting this because i've been looking for a free tool like this sense XP thought people should know about it *Toast :toast:

Windows 7 when combined with Pismo get’s an incredible feature of creating password protected folders ( *.pfo ) which they call as Private Folders. It is just like any other folder to which you can add any folder and do any operation but not password protections just comes out of the box in Windows 7.
