XP Sharing Security Problem

[Scouse]

OK.

WinNT/2k - we're all quite happy being able to secure certain files/folders by restricting access to certain users/groups and setting their permissions (read, write, execute, full control etc....).

Had a quick look at XP a while back and couldn't see an easy way of doing this.

Someone asked me a question today about this - saying they couldn't do it - so I had a look, and after about 10 mins of looking - I couldn't see it either.

XP Pro - HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SET SHARE ACCESS RIGHTS????

Easy in 2k - right click, fuck about with the accounts/permissions, job's a good un.

NT, ok - little more fiddly. But OK.

XP - wherethefuckistheoption????

Serious/non sarcastic answers please

You sir, are a star

I was beginning to think that no-one was going to post!

It's a bit daft that simple file sharing is enabled by default isn't it.

Ta m8.

Not really, the OS is made for Simpletons.
