    File sharing between select computers on a home network password protected


    I'm trying to set up a network through my home router which will allow computers on the network to share files easily.

This would be a secure and password protected connection.I know this is possible to do because I have succeeded in connecting to a laptop which is on wifi. The laptop shows up on the sidebar of the file explorer under Network which also seems to contain pritners. I don't know how I was able to do this since I was trying to set this up and it popp

    How To: Password Protect a Folder in Network?

    Hi all I have a question for you all Networking Expert out there. Im running a small networking at my house. this Network consist of 3 computers : My computer, My sister's and My mom's. My computer act as a Network Harddrive, I share a lot of Files in my computer. Sometimes my sister like to pull over some files from my computer, but there are some folders where i dont like her to open. Im thinking to Password Protect a certain folders, so whenever she or my mom open those certain folders a pop up will show up asking for password (im thinking to password protect because sometimes I need to able to access those folders from either my mom's or sister's computer) Is there anyway to do this? third party Program? all computers in my network running Windows XP.

    Cannot turn off the password protected sharing. The option for password protected sharing is not there

    Hi Ankit,

    Is this the exact process/steps you are using?

    Open Control Panel

    Go to Network and Sharing Center

    Select Change advanced sharing settings in the left pane

    Expand the network you want to disable password protected sharing on by clicking the down arrow on the right of the profile

    Select 'Turn off password protected sharing' and then click Save changes.
