How To Adding Password Share Folder In Windows XP | Troubleshooting and Tips Adding Password Share Folder In Windows XP

If you frequently interact with the computer network, you will often hear and use that name on the Windows folder sharing. If using Windows XP to share a folder or file, the default operating system will not provide a password when you access it via another computer. This becomes risky when you want to share important documents are in fact only be known by the person concerned.

To overcome this, Windows has provided its own operating system that provides flexibility to the administrator to manage the network, including providing security on any folder to share. But it is also not the best solution if only for the purposes of temporary or urgent needs. Not funny if you have to install the computer using a Windows server.

To provide a password in Windows XP shared folder, follow these instructions:

• Login as Administrator Windows XP
• Click Start, Control Panel, User Accounts.
• Click the Guest account and make sure the user Guest to be active.

• Close the User Accounts window.
• Open Command Prompt by clicking Start button, select Run, type CMD and then press the Enter key.
• At the Command Prompt, type net user guest password and press the Enter key.
• Go back to User Accounts and give the password to the user guest.
  
• Enter the password and then restart your computer.
• After the computer restarts, you try sharing a folder on that computer.
• Computer access along with the folder you just go through another computer. If no errors, then when you access it from another computer, the system will ask for a password to access the computer. Enter the username guest with password that you set earlier.

It's finished, the folder you are sharing is protected with a password. Fraudulent users who do not know the password that you set will not be able to read the file or folder that you have previously sharing.
